Abstract

In Lithuania, the existence of a pre-trial stage of individual labour dispute resolution is not based on practical or theoretical legal, social, economic and even moral aspects. It is therefore necessary to review the structure of this stage and the role it plays in essence and to reform it fundamentally. According to the authors, it is necessary to take into account the existing social and economic situation in Lithuania, but the fundamental principles of labour law, including the principle of social partnering as a key one, should not be defied. Apparently, if the pre-trial stage of labour dispute settlement is not eliminated at all, it should be based on the principles of active participation of the social partners and decisions of an independent expert. In addition, with a view to improving the pre-trial stage of labour dispute resolution, due regard should be given to the specifics of particular disputes, allowing for setting out specific measures for settling such disputes.
