This document discusses trade disputes and methods for resolving them. A trade dispute is a conflict between employees and employers that can arise when parties do not follow organizational terms, have differing interpretations of conditions, or fail to implement agreements. Common trade dispute actions include picketing, strikes, and lockouts. Picketing involves peaceful, lawful protests, while strikes and lockouts both require formal procedures. Various approaches for settling disputes are outlined, including direct negotiation, conciliation, arbitration, and mediation, with arbitration and mediation potentially involving neutral third parties.
