Central Arbitration Committee
(CAC) A statutory body, established under the Employment Protection Act 1975 (now governed by the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992. It normally convenes with a chair, deputy chairs, and other members appointed by the Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform, from among persons nominated by the Advisory Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS). The Committee helps determine disputes relating to arbitration in trade disputes, referred to it by ACAS with the consent of both parties; the disclosure of information to trade unions; and the recognition and derecognition of trade unions for the purpose of collective bargaining (see recognition procedure). When the Committee makes an award of pay and/or conditions of employment in a case where an employer has failed to disclose information, it is generally incorporated in the contracts of employment of individual employees and is enforceable in the courts. |
