Abstract
It is impossible to imagine the modern world without impact of interests of people, various groups, and the states as a whole. By virtue of differentiation of social structure of the Kazakhstan society, diversity of economy, and of some other objective reasons, recently we have been observing growth of social conflicts, including labour conflicts. Strike of petroleum experts in the Western Kazakhstan last year and a miners’ strike in the Central Kazakhstan speak that the interests of the certain groups of the population, workers in particular, are not considered, which in turn leads to the increase of a level of social tension not only in regions sphere, but also in a society as a whole.After December events in Zhanaozen, the government created the centre of social partnership among the functions of which is monitoring of labour attitudes, settlement of labour disputes and their prevention. Novelty of the given article is not only the review of modern labour conflicts in Kazakhstan, but also the analysis of a role of each participant of labour process, a specific character of their behaviour in business of achievement of the objectives and satisfactions of the demands. As it is shown by an expert, in Kazakhstan there are no operating mechanisms for the solution of labour conflicts, technologies on settlement of labour disputes with participation of all parties of labour process. Today the experts predict a decrease in the level of strike movement at the mining and metallurgical enterprises of Kazakhstan. That is not a parameter of activity of the nongovernmental organizations, a merit of employers and close attention of the state.
