1.            COLLECTIVE BARGAINING:

Collective Bargaining is a technique by which dispute, are resolved amicably, by agreement, rather than by coercion. The dispute is settled peacefully and voluntarily, although reluctantly, between labour and management.

2.           NEGOTIATION:

3. CONCILIATION:

Conciliation is a process by which the representative of the workers and the employers are brought together before the third party, or a conciliation board with a view of persuading them to come to a common agreement.

 The conciliator after hearing the opinion of both the parties will suggest a remedial measure. The role of a conciliator is very passive. The measures suggested may or may not be accepted by both the parties.

Conciliation may be compulsory or voluntary.

4.        MEDIATION:

Mediation is also a method of solving problems with the help of an outsider or a third party who plays more positive role than a conciliator. Mediator is more actively involved while assisting the parties to find an amicable settlement. Sometimes he submits his own proposals for settlement of their disputes.

5.          ARBITRATION:

When two disputing parties mutually agreed to refer the dispute to a third party and to accept whatever judgment he says is called arbitration the person with whom the dispute is referred is called arbitrator.

Compulsory arbitration is called adjudication under adjudication the decision is imposed by the government.
