Labour disputes and how they are resolved
Answers are for parents and teachers.
1
Draft a plan of an application letter for an unlawful dismissal (invented names).
To whom and from whom; a short account; dismissal date and order; which law was violated; the demand (reinstatement and lost pay); attached documents; date and signature.
2
Give one example each of an individual and a collective labour dispute.
Individual: one employee’s pay is unpaid. Collective: many workers dissatisfied with working conditions.
3
Why is it better to settle a dispute first by negotiation? Write in 3 sentences.
It is quicker and cheaper and preserves the relationship; the court route remains open.
4
Write 4 bodies that protect labour rights.
The trade union, the state labour inspectorate, the prosecutor’s office, the court.
5
List your 5 main labour rights (as a minor).
A written contract; safe conditions; shortened working time; leave; fair pay; non-discrimination.
