Collective conflict
Within the labor context, a collective conflict arises when there is a dispute between the employer and a group of employees that affects their general interests.
The regulation of collective conflicts is established by Royal Decree-Law 17/1977.
This legal mechanism allows the management of labor disputes when they do not affect a specific individual, but rather a group of employees or a broader collective. These disagreements are usually related to the interpretation or application of labor regulations, collective agreements, company agreements, or general business decisions.
One of the main characteristics of a collective conflict is that it always involves a plurality of employees and a shared interest, distinguishing it from individual conflicts. In addition, it can be initiated by either employee representatives or employers, depending on the origin of the dispute.
