Symposium on settling labour disputes held

A symposium on labor dispute settlement was organised by the Ministry of Labour, with attendees including business owners, laborers, judges, attorneys, and specialised staff.

The symposium covered a variety of working papers pertaining to the process of resolving labour disputes, including the function of committees for amicable settlement, the minutes of reconciliation between the involved parties, and the process for resolving disputes in compliance with the ministerial decree governing it. The topic of arbitration was also brought up as a way to resolve labou issues in line with the Labour Law.

The symposium covered the practical aspects of settling labour disputes and the procedures for doing so in accordance with the provisions of Omani Labor Law No. (53/2023) and the ministerial directives implementing it, according to Hussein bin Ali al Lawati, Director General of Labour Welfare.

The symposium covered alternative methods of resolving labor disputes that some nations may use. He expressed the hope that the symposium would produce recommendations that help resolve labour disputes in a way that protects the rights of workers and business owners alike.
