| Abstract: | In order to normalize relations between trade unions and management in government departments and private firms, four consultative and negotiating committees were set up by government in the 1940s and 1950s. While the popularity of the system was satisfactory in areas with a sound trade union system, the committees led to some confusion in areas with a weak trade union organization, based on unfounded suspicion of workers that joint consultative machinery would be able to prevent trade union organization. Notwithstanding the successful working of the machineries in declaring strikes and disput seems however that they could not cope with fundamental industrial relations problems, for instance those concerning wages and salaries structures. Notes, one table. |
