Acas can help solve the junior doctors' pay dispute and build trust between both sides, writes John Taylor, the former chief of the service.
Tensions always rise in long-running disputes with both sides taking up positions that are often diametrically opposed meaning that trust has broken down and that constructive dialogue has become very difficult.
They will then help parties to concentrate on the key issues, to negotiate on what they can control and not conflate and complicate the dispute further. Hopefully, this will help identify that common ground that is necessary to kickstart a meaningful dialogue, and, using their broad knowledge of employment relations, the conciliators will help the parties to move towards potentially workable solutions.
It can be particularly helpful in Public Sector disputes where rarely the Government is not in the room but where an element of the dispute has become, often unintentionally, overtly political.
