WHAT IS THE CENTRAL ARBITRATION COMMITTEE (CAC)? The Central Arbitration Committee is a permanent independent body with statutory powers whose main function is to adjudicate on applications relating to the statutory recognition and derecognition of trade unions for collective bargaining purposes, where such recognition or derecognition cannot be agreed voluntarily. In addition, the CAC has a statutory role in determining disputes between trade unions and employers over the disclosure of information for collective bargaining purposes, and in resolving applications and complaints under the following regulations:
The CAC also provides voluntary arbitration in industrial disputes. The Committee consists of a Chairman, Sir Michael Burton, 11 Deputy Chairmen, 29 members experienced as representatives of employers and 27 members experienced as representatives of workers. The names of the Deputy Chairmen and members can be found at CAC members.All members of the Committee are appointed by the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry after consulting ACAS. Determinations are made by panels of three Committee members appointed by the Chairman of the Committee and consisting of either the Chairman himself or a Deputy Chairman, one member whose experience is as a representative of employers, and one member whose experience is as a representative of workers. The CAC is committed to making its services accessible and easy to use for all our customers, in compliance with its obligations to ensure fair and equal treatment to all our customers, to recognise their diversity, and to avoid inadvertent discrimination.
