Conciliation is a dispute resolution process commonly used in labor and employment law to help parties involved in a labor dispute reach an amicable settlement. Here's an overview of the conciliation process under labor law:

1. Initiation: The conciliation process typically begins when one of the parties involved in a labor dispute, often the employer or the labor union representing employees, requests the assistance of a conciliator. This request is usually made to a government labor department or a labor relations authority.

2. Appointment of Conciliator: Once a request is made, a neutral third party, known as a conciliator, is appointed to facilitate the conciliation process. The conciliator is usually an experienced individual with expertise in labor and employment matters.
