ABSTRACT

There is a significant increase each year in labour cases in parallel with the development of industry in our country. Despite the establishment of new labour courts in the court houses and the increased number of labour chambers in the Court of Cassation, cases are prolonged and cannot be finalized in the periods specified in the law due to the excessive workload. One of the reasons for the increased workload in Labour Courts and the Court of Cassation may be considered that the alternative resolution methods in individual labour conflicts are not foreseen and arrangements can also be made regarding alternative resolution method in individual labour conflicts as in collective labour conflicts. The dysfunctional and very obsolete nature of the Law on Labour Courts is also an important problem. Law on Labour Courts has been rendered compatible with the amendments made in the Civil Procedure Code. There is a need for a Law on Labour Courts to accelerate labour judiciary and to eliminate the existing and ever increasing problems
