Students will explore the legal frameworks that support these mechanisms and analyze real-world case studies to understand their practical application. Through lectures, case discussions, and role-playing, students will be equipped to identify the root causes of labor disputes, evaluate conflict resolution strategies, and apply these strategies effectively.
