Rebuilding Britain

CHAPTER X
2/15

Some of the proposals have already been put into fairly definite form in the Whitley Report, and have received the approval of the Government.

Industrial Councils are to be established.

The object of them will be to consider "constructive measures for the improvement of industrial conditions and the increase of efficiency." They will not be confined to specific points of dispute.
They are to be established in industries which are "highly organised," where the employer and employed already possess some definite association or union which represents them respectively.

There are to be national, district, and workshop councils set up.

Their object differs from that of the Conciliation Boards for Arbitration or the Trade Boards established to settle some specific question such as a minimum wage to be paid, or some question that has given rise to a dispute between employers and employed.
