A Strategy for Preventing Labour Disputes
Preventing labour disputes in Georgia is not a matter of general management advice but of legal machinery: the Code itself supplies the best preventive instruments — the dispute-resolution procedure, the rules on information and consultation, the collective-agreement frame, and the complaint channel of the internal rules. The design models of United States alternative-dispute-resolution programmes do not apply here — a Georgian strategy is built on the precise norms of the Code, and institutionalizing precisely those reduces disputes. The strategy begins with a map of risks.
The strategy stands on four mechanisms: a procedure that resolves disputes in time; an information system that gives early warning in organizations of 50+; the collective agreement as a durable frame; and the complaint procedure of the internal rules as the first instance.
