"The conciliator does not himself settle the dispute," Mr. Price
explained. "'He merely attempts to advise and persuade an employer and his
workers to settle what is THEIR dispute.
"And a conciliator does not possess legal powers. He is only armed
with his personality, prestige, personal skill, practical experience, perseverance
and patience.
Mr. Price said that with the backing of the Labour Tribunal which
will start work next month, he expected the number of management-worker disputes
to be settled by conciliation would become even higher.
The presence of the Tribunal, he added, would strengthen the hands of
the department's conciliation officers, and complement their work.
