Abstract:
In this position paper, the author discusses the innovations in labour arbitration with particular emphasis on technological developments and hearings being conducted remotely. Therefore, the research seeks to establish how these innovations are influencing this process and the effects this change has on the resolution of labour related disputes. This paper aims to provide a literature review and to present case studies discussed in relation to recent changes in digital environments, comparing their advantages and disadvantages and considering such aspects as openness, productivity, fairness, or Internet literacy. Finally, the potential implications of the present analysis are underlined and a call is made to think about the requirements that should shape policy approaches to remote arbitration on the condition that the technique is efficient and fair. The study’s implications for future research and practice are also presented.
