As industrial structures are changing, the nature and the way of resolving each country's labour conflicts in the workplace is also changing. About 50 years ago in Japan, most conflicts in the workplace were resolved by labour unions. But now the number of collective labour disputes are much smaller, but on the other hand the number of individual labour conflicts is larger. In this article, by comparing systems in Japan to those of Australia and the UK, I argue that there are insufficient coordination systems in Japan regarding the resolution of individual labour conflicts, especially by administrative bodies. Namely, (1) The amount of advice and conciliation by administrative bodies involved in solving labour conflicts in Japan should be increased. (2) A rule for a compulsory conference by administrative bodies in Japan should be introduced. (3) Early conciliation systems by administrative bodies should be introduced in Japan. Importantly, the Prefectural Labour Bureau of Japan should support more individual employees through these three points as industrial structures are changing.
