Assessing the Challenges of Voluntary Arbitration in Resolving Labour Disputes in Tanzania: Lessons from India

Abstract

This article examines the challenges involved in the use of the voluntary arbitration mechanism in resolving labour disputes in Tanzania. The study draws upon lessons from India. In a voluntary arbitration, the parties to the labour dispute submit it to a neutral, independent third-party for a biding decision. The article examined the current state of the law, identified the challenges involved in using it for labour arbitration, and made some recommendations for law reform. The article adopts the doctrinal research methodology which relies extensively on the primary and secondary sources of legal information.
