MEDIATION OF LABOR DISPUTES IN THE UNITED STATES

Summary/Abstract: The institution of mediation has been known in American history for over a century and a half. We have been talking about mediation since 1838. Then, at the initiative of President Martin Van Buren, the first mediation facilitated by the Government in the event of a major strike took place. Obviously, we cannot talk about mediation in the current sense. Nevertheless, it is a first step.In order to support and promote mediation, the involvement of the state is very important. Labor disputes are practically the first to be resolved through mediation. In 1918, the American Conciliation Service was born within the Department of Labor. The establishment of this service was considered the birth of mediation at the federal level.
