The Central Arbitration Committee (CAC) is a UK body that resolves disputes related to trade unions, collective bargaining, and worker representation. If you're facing workplace issues and need CAC involvement, it's important to understand the process and how to submit an application or complaint.
When Does the Central Arbitration Committee Get Involved?
The CAC steps in when there are disputes between employers, trade unions, and workers regarding employment rights and collective representation. Some common cases include:
1. Trade Union Recognition Disputes
If a trade union seeks recognition for collective bargaining but the employer refuses, the CAC can determine whether the union should be legally recognised.
✅ Example Case: A group of delivery drivers join a union and request recognition to negotiate fair wages. The employer declines, so the union applies to the CAC for a decision.
2. Collective Bargaining Disagreements
When a recognized trade union and an employer fail to agree on key employment terms (such as pay, working hours, or benefits), the CAC can step in to mediate and enforce fair resolutions.
✅ Example Case: A factory union demands improved working conditions, but negotiations with management break down. The union applies to the CAC, which intervenes to help reach a fair agreement.
3. Worker Representation Rights
Employees have the right to be represented by a union in specific workplace matters. The CAC ensures compliance if an employer refuses to engage with worker representatives.
✅ Example Case: A retail company makes major contract changes without consulting employees. The union challenges this, and the CAC enforces workers’ right to representation.
How to Submit Applications and Complaints
All applications and complaints must be submitted electronically to:
📧 Email: enquiries@cac.gov.uk
This ensures a faster processing time and proper documentation.
