The Labour Relations Service assists employers and employees to

resolve differences by investigating the immediate causes and the background,

interviewing both parties separately, at the right time by conducting joint

meetings and helping the parties to draw up an agreement in writing.

In the quarter under review, the Service made 48 special visits

to employers to explain to them the advantages of introducing joint

consultative committees to improve communications between labour and

management, and management and labour.

The high degree of success of the Service during the quarter could

not have been achieved without the willingness of both employers and workers

to come promptly to meetings arranged for them, a labour Department spokesman

said today. He hoped more employers and employees would adopt the same

attitude so their differences could be resolved as early as possible.
