New Acas/TUC Mediation Guide

[Thanks to Laurie Anstis of Boyes Turner for telling me about this]

Acas and the TUC have, today, launched a new guide for trade union representatives on workplace mediation, and how mediation can avoid costly disputes.

The new guide covers:

• What happens during mediation
• The role of representatives in mediation and how to support members
• Working with employers to set up mediation arrangements
• How mediation fits with other workplace procedures and agreements
• Trade Union reps acting as mediators

The new guide is available here. Another Acas mediation guide, aimed at employers, is available here.
