Abstract
This thesis examines the effectiveness of arbitration as a mechanism for resolving collective
labour disputes in Ethiopia, analyzing its implementation under the Labour Proclamation No.
1156/2019 in light of relevant ILO conventions. The study critically assesses the Ethiopian
system's unique blend of voluntary and compulsory arbitration, focusing on the role of the
Labour Relations Board and its potential impact on fairness, access to justice, and compliance
with international standards. The thesis delves into the tension between government intervention
and party autonomy, highlighting the potential for bias and the need for robust procedural
safeguards. Drawing on comparative analysis and international best practices, the research
provides recommendations for enhancing the Ethiopian system to promote a more equitable,
efficient, and accessible framework for resolving collective labour disputes in line with ILO
conventions.
