A special hall equipped with visual communication tools will be set up. Employees who do not have access to the appropriate communication tools will attend the day specified for their session and to communicate visually with the judge in charge of looking into the labour dispute. The judge and other parties will have access to the visual communication tool through a link which will be sent to them by the Ministry.
