This Act amends three Acts concerning dispute resolution bodies. Under the Trade Union Law of 1949 (LS 1949-Jap.3), the Central Labour Relations Committeee is to be composed of thirteen members representing employers, thirteen members representing workers and thirteen members representing the public interest. The Prime Minister shall appoint the members in accordance with the respective recommendations of employers and workers' organisations (for details see s. 19-3). Tripartite Local Dispute Resolution Committeees appointed by the Minister of Labour shall be established within the Central Labour Relations Commission (ss. 19-10 and 27) to engage in conciliation and mediation of disputes between the National Enterprises and their employees, involving the investigation and hearing of unfair labour practice charges. The Central Labour Relations Commission shall encompass the functions of the former Central Labour Relations Commission and those of the National Enterprises Labour Relations Commission (s. 25). The Labour Relations Dispute Resolution Act (No. 25 of 1946) is amended to define the disputes which the Central Labour Relations Commission should handle at the district level by conciliators or mediators appointed from Local Dispute Resolution Committeee members. The National Enterprises Labour Relations Act (No. 257 of 1948) is amended to establish the Review Committeee (ss. 3 and 4), composed of the chairperson of the Central Labour Relations Commission and four public members appointed thereby. It shall hear unfair labour practices involving employees on the National Enterprises, and its decisions shall be deemed to be those of the Central Labour Relations Commission. The National Enterprises Labour Relations Commission and the Local Mediation Committee are abolished.
