beginnen mit (Tarif-) Verhandlungen zur Konfliktlösung


Explanation:
Das Verb *sue* wird meiner Ansicht nach hier verwendet, um das Einleiten eines relativ strukturierten Verfahrens zu bezeichnen.

Vertreterinnen und Vertreter der Gewerkschaften und des Managements beginnen mit Tarifverhandlungen zur Konfliktlösung.

Erst danach wird die Auseinandersetzung robuster.

Reference: "sue for"

Reference information:
Alternatively, it could be an attempt to render "sue for", as in "sue for peace", with "for" either accidentally missing or deliberately (but oddly) ellipted.

If so, then the meaning would be:
"Unions and management representatives usually {plead for / request} negotiations to solve conflicts."
