Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the development of procedural mediation as a method of dealing with collective conflicts in the Brazilian Labor Court. The research method used was the deductive, and the procedure method adopted was the monographic. For the treatment of such conflicts, it is concluded that procedural mediation is a highly recommendable method, because it seeks to reestablish the capacity for dialogue between the parties. However, it is necessary that magistrates and servants who are willing to officiate as mediators strictly obey the principles and rules contained in the Code of Ethics of Judicial Conciliators and Mediators, under penalty of distorting the purpose of the institute.
