labor court

Employment dispute forum

A labor court is a tribunal that handles disputes between workers and employers—matters like wrongful termination, wage claims, union grievances, and workplace discrimination.

In countries with specialized labor courts, these bodies operate separately from ordinary civil courts and often include judges with expertise in employment law.

The case went before the labor court after mediation failed.
