‘MODEL FOR INDUSTRY’
Railway Agreement in Britain COMPANIES AND UNIONS (British Official Wireless.) (Received January 24, 5.5 p.m.) Rugby, January 23. The agreement which railway companies and three railway trade unions have unanimously reached upon machinery for dealing speedily and effectively with disputes of every kind is regarded as one of the most important collective bargaining agreements ever reached in Britain. The railway industry includes 400,000 workers and one of their officials described the conciliation machinery now established as “a tine model for any great industry.” The agreement, which is the outcome of negotiations extending over two years, forbids a strike until every possibility of negotiation has been exhausted. Features in the machinery include a national council representing unions and companies to consider all major questions of wages and conditions and other matters of mutual interest to staff and management, and a national tribunal with an independent chairman and two independent members, one nominated by each side, to which problems not settled by the council can be referred. The agreement is welcomed by all sections of industry and also by the public.
