The history of the formation of domestic legislation is not covered by modern textbooks of labor law. This provision does not trace the formation of factory legislation as a justification for the role of the labor movement and the resolution of labor conflicts in its regulatory meaning. Insufficient attention to the principle of historicism in labor law can lead to errors in reflecting certain patterns of development of the institution of collective labor dispute resolution. This article reflects a complete comprehensive analysis of the reasons and conditions for the need to introduce legal regulation of wage labor and the resolution of labor conflicts in pre-revolutionary Russia, where the decisive role belongs to the workers’ movement for their rights with the rapid development of industrial production and the presence of disagreements between workers and industrialists.

In modern research works, insufficient attention is paid to the problem of the emergence of factory legislation, this study will fill in the gaps in the formation of domestic labor law. The article analyzes individual factory laws, the authors turn to archival documents that substantiate their point of view in the meaning of the prerequisites for the emergence of factory legislation for the entire social life of Russian society. The authors have identified the most characteristic prerequisites for the emergence of labor legislation regulating wage labor in general and the resolution of collective labor disputes, in particular.
