Conciliation is a process where a neutral third party is brought in to help the employer and the union find a solution to their disagreement. The conciliator meets with both sides separately and helps them come up with proposals to resolve the dispute. If the parties cannot reach an agreement, the conciliator may issue a report with recommendations for settlement. The purpose of conciliation is to prevent a strike or lockout from happening.
