Noţiunea şi trăsăturile caracteristice ale conflictului colectiv de muncă prin prisma legislaţiei Republicii Moldova şi a legislaţiei române

This paper is intended to clarify the criteria used to differentiate the individual from the collective nature of labour disputes in labour law, and to cast light on processes and powers assigned to the actors to seek a settlement. Also, the current research is aimed at conceptually approaching the juridical institution of collective labour disputes by means of national legislation and doctrinal opinions.
