Abstract

By complying with several essential parameters, labor mediation fulfills, above all, the function of promoting access to Justice by citizens who, otherwise, would see their possibilities of resorting to the judicial systems frustrated. With the exception of situations in which recourse to labor mediation is not feasible – collective employment contract situations; discussion of unavailable worker rights or accidents at work –, most of the time, this is a procedure that is more flexible, simple and quick, which does not mean that it is equated by the parties when they are faced with a conflict. The dimensions of speed and low cost of procedural costs are relevant in terms of access to the law and the courts, being both of the most striking aspects of labor mediation.
