Labor disputes refer to conflicts arising between parties in an employment relationship during the implementation of labor laws, regulations, and fulfillment of labor contracts, specifically disagreements between employees and their employing entities concerning rights and obligations under the labor relationship.
Labor disputes are among the most common types of conflicts encountered in practice. While most employers (including government agencies, enterprises, institutions, and social organizations) and employees establish cooperative relationships and faithfully fulfill contractual obligations after forming labor relationships, disputes inevitably arise due to various practical reasons. The occurrence of labor disputes not only undermines the stability of normal employment relationships but also harms the legitimate interests of workers, posing challenges to social stability.
