Abstract:The mediation can deal with disputes in a timely and effective manner so that it can be resolved before or outside the lawsuit. The study divides labor disputes mediation into two categories: one is small mediation, the other is large mediation. The latter can also be divided into general mediation and special mediation. The legal basis of the large mediation is mainly at the level of labor policy since its statutory issues are seriously divided, which causes great controversy in academic circles and practice, and hence, extends to labor disputes. In practice, some special models are available for successful major mediation of labor disputes, such as the "Shandong Model" and the "Tianjin Model'*, which provides strong proof and support for the rationality of the major mediation, and a feasible practical paradigm of the major mediation in labor disputes as well, in particular collective labor disputes' extensive implementation in China.
