ACAS

ACAS (Advisory Conciliation and Arbitration Service) is a British government body that was set up in 1975 to mediate in industrial disputes in both the public and private sectors. Its findings are not binding on either side, but carry considerable weight with the government. It consists of a panel of ten members, three each appointed by the TUC and the CBI, who elect three academics and an independent chairman. It does not, itself, carry out arbitrations but may recommend an arbitration to be held by other bodies.
