The Office of Labor-Management Mediation investigates industrial disputes, strikes and lockouts. Our goal is to eliminate the causes of misunderstanding and differences between labor and management. The Office of Labor-Management Mediation works with third-party neutrals to assist labor and management in collective bargaining settings.

This office also administers the South Carolina Right-to-Work Law, § 41-7-10, S. C. Code Ann. (1976), which provides that the right of persons to work shall not be denied or abridged based upon their affiliation or non-affiliation with a labor union.
