Abstract
Since it is inevitable to avoid labor disputes at the workplace,it is important to establish an efficient system to resolve labor disputes. With the domestic economic and social changes,the original system framework and content of the Labor Dispute Resolution Act have become insufficient for current needs in Taiwan. The Ministry of Labor therefore proposed an amendment to amend the relevant provisions governing mediation, arbitration and decision on the unfair labor practices in the Labor Dispute Resolution Act. The purpose of this amendment is to strengthen the function of mediation, arbitration and resolve the unfair labor practices. The amendment to the Labor Dispute Resolution Act became the law in 2009 and came into effect on May 1, 2011. This article is to discuss the relevant regulations governing mediation, arbitration and decision on the unfair labor practices in the new Labor Dispute Resolution Act.
