Employers’ Federation
“The Employers Federation is becoming more of a problem than the employers themselves. Their advocates badly advise the employers they work for and this leads to strife and stoppages on many occasions. The employers' assessors sit back with their fingers crossed and wait for the Federation to fix the dispute, but it only prolongs the dispute.” Sir Thomas says that the Employers Federation’s
proposal to return to compulsory arbitration is outdated and antiquated. “If we had compulsory arbitration no union would go there. What has caused the failure of the conciliation and arbitration system is that employers haven’t used enough imagination to know the right time and how much to settle. “As a result the union doesn’t go to Court because once it goes there it is compelled to accept the Court’s decision. If a union couldn’t withdraw it would bargain outside the Act.”
