Abstract: Mediation in labor disputes was introduced for the first time into the Romanian legal system in 1999. A few years later, because of a stringent need to align Romanian practices with EU legislation, mediation as a profession was officially regulated in 2006. The current law of Social Dialog is seriously criticized by a significant part of Romanian society. Since being approved, in 2011, this law has already faced a significant number of changes, and still seems to demand acute amendments. According to both trade unions and employer representatives, the current number of collective labor conflicts in Romania is quite small—an effect not so much of intensive and efficient social dialogue, but rather of a very restrictive legislation.
