Efectividad de la mediación laboral en la reparación integral de conflictos por derechos laborales vulnerados

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the practical functionality of mediation in labor disputes. The goal is to identify its strengths, weaknesses, and, above all, its real impact on protecting workers' rights. To this end, the study examined the mediation system, its underlying principles, and the perspectives of its users. The research revealed that mediation is an important alternative method for conflict resolution, offering faster, more private, and agreement-focused solutions, thus helping to reduce workplace conflict and strengthen communication between workers and employers. However, the examination also uncovered serious problems, such as frequent non-compliance with agreements, persistent power imbalances between the parties, and inadequate oversight of the system by regulatory bodies—issues that undermine confidence in the outcomes. Therefore, the analysis demonstrates that while labor mediation is useful, it requires changes to its rules and improvements in its implementation.
