Various stages of dispute settlement have been suggested ranging from negotiation
to judicial settlement of dispute. In theory, the labour dispute resolution system
should be a linear process: consultation, mediation, arbitration, litigation in court of
first instance, appeal, etc. In reality, however, the process is much more fluid with
the emphasis being placed by the authorities at all stages on mediation rather the
more formal arbitration and litigation procedures. Thus, even if a case does make it
to a labour dispute arbitration committee (LDAC) or the civil courts, those
institutions will often still urge the parties to a agree to a mediated settlement rather
than issue a formal ruling.

National character may be a social construction, but personality traits are rooted
in biology. Take a very strong handshake, spend too long on small talk, showing
appreciation, too much apology etc are some personal behaviour. On the other
hand, unity in diversity, cultural harmonies etc are national characteristics.
Dear Rosella,
When I got your letter last week, I realized we haven‘t talked in months. Thank
you so much for including the pictures of your new house and inviting us to visit
you in India this summer.
It's quite exciting, but also a lot of work: I get up at 5 a.m. every morning and we
usually close after 11 p.m. The house was quite run down when we bought it, but
now it looks fantastic. Obviously, I can't close the café for several weeks during
summer as we just opened a few weeks ago.
While market is suffering still from recession time, we are not also for from this
disease. Use of available resource in proper manner is very essential for us.
While we have agreed in principle to try and cut down on staff, there are two
serious problems in the Buying Department.
Firstly the clerk in charge of ordering from the stores is also responsible for the
utilizing of paper. Because at the end of the month, when most people want to pay
the bill from the stores, and on the other hand require information from the files,
he is unable to keep up with the demand. For utilizing the paper and electricity we
should shut down his/her electric gadgets like computer printer, fax machine. So I
suggest we try to reorganize his job. Proper use of paper and electricity can save
million of company pay packages. Our company has austerity drive.
To recover from this time, I want you to economize the use of paper & electricity.
