Abstract

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the role of trade unions in managing social and labor conflicts, emphasizing their significance in contemporary workplace dynamics. It explores the various strategies employed by trade unions to address conflicts, including negotiation, mediation, and collective bargaining, highlighting their impact on resolving disputes and improving working conditions. The study also examines the challenges faced by trade unions in representing workers' interests effectively, such as legal constraints and employer resistance. Furthermore, it discusses the broader implications of trade unions in promoting social justice and advocating for workers' rights, emphasizing their role in shaping labor policies and practices. By offering a nuanced perspective on the role of trade unions in social and labor conflicts, this study contributes to the ongoing discourse on labor relations and provides insights into the evolving nature of work and employment.
