根据《民事诉讼法》的一般规则,调解一般不是诉讼的必经程序。从审判实践来看,我国劳动争议案件的调解率普遍偏低。然而,笔者认为,劳动争议诉讼的特殊属性决定了劳动争议诉讼中应当先行调解,这样更有利于保障劳动者的诉权以及劳动争议的解决。 According to the general rules of the Code of Civil Procedure, mediation is generally not a necessary procedure for litigation. Judging from the trial practice, the mediation rate of labor dispute cases in our country is generally low. However, in my opinion, the special nature of labor dispute litigation should lead to mediation in labor dispute litigation, which is more conducive to safeguarding workers' rights of action and solving labor disputes.
