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. Research ACAS
The Confederation of British Industry (CBI) is an independent non-party organization formed in 1965, by a merger of the National Association of British Manufacturers, the British Employers Confederation, and the Federation of British Industry, to promote prosperity in British industry and to represent industry in dealings with the government. Membership, which totals approximately 50,000 companies, is voluntary. The governing body is the Confederation of British Industry Council, which meets monthly; there are 13 Regional Councils that deal with local industrial problems.
