Description
Summary:It is commonplace that the roles of labor organizations and of collective bargaining in developing countries raise political and economic problems of peculiar difficulty. One legislative experiment for dealing with some of these problems is Singapore's Industrial Relations Court, the subject of this article. The industrial relations system of which that court is a part combines collective bargaining and compulsory arbitration in fairly unusual fashion. This combination is here described, as are the interrelationships of the court with unions, employers, and the executive branch of government, and also interrelationships of judicial procedures and economic issues.
