Dear Kinan,

Hope you all are in a good health.

Following our meetings with mediators and internal discussions it’s time to work on mediation mechanism/amendments. The most important topic right now is co mediation and we would like to ask you to share ILO’s views on how to deal with it, what is the mechanism in this case, how responsibilities of mediators are redistributed, process of mediation, what are the best practices, how other countries deal with it, etc.

We also consider working on mechanism of evaluation of mediators and your expertise would be very much appreciated.  Besides that, you might remember discussions from our last meeting with mediators the issue of ethics code of mediators, we would like to know more about procedures, can the code for members of Georgian Bar Association used in case of collective labour dispute mediators  and others.

As I’m aware, you already discussed the issue of hiring two experts with Mrs. Barkalaia. Considering the needs and scope of the Ministry, the experts should be lawyers having knowledge of labour law, knowledge of English language is a must J  work experience in public  institutions or knowledge how public sector works would be an asset.

We need those experts to work in two main directions: 

-          Development of collective labour disputes mediation mechanism (amendments, practical issues, etc.) and tripartite social dialogue/TSPC (make the system more efficient, more meetings, other related issues);

-          Labour Inspection – legal acts that need to be adopted and are determined by the Law on Labour Inspection, number of practical issues related to work and functioning of a new body, organizational structure, etc.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thank you! 

Best, 

Lika
