Comment

If the union can not decide an agreement then an unbiased group called ACAS (Advisory, Conciliation, and Arbitration Service). ACAS is an independent non-departmental public body of the Government of the United Kingdom. It listens to the companies and employees argument and either agrees will one or the other or it will try and make each side meet an understanding.

Name of ACAS

This article starts with the statement "Acas, the employment relations service (previously known as the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service)", but if you go to the ACAS web site it says nothing about them changing their name. In fact, it was known as the Industrial Relations Service in 1960 and it was re-named ACAS in 1975. Unless there are any objections I was planning to correct this to what is the correct legal name of this non-statutory body. - Dave Smith 12:13, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Made these changes and expanded on the history of the organisation. - Dave Smith 14:59, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Is it Acas or ACAS? I know it's an acronym, but they seem to use Acas on their own site, and the usage in this article is not consistent. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.192.123.114 (talk) 15:57, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Too self congratulating & lacking in objectivity

Too much of the content reads as if it taken straight from a web site that is presumptuously blowing its own trumpet. eg: "It's role is to make working life better in Great Britain." & "It achieves this through"

These claims need substantiating, as does much of the rest. I am changing some of this along these lines: Its AIM is to make working life better ... It AIMS to achieve this through ...

The content is also too UK centric. The content needs to report on this in a way that doesn't presume the reader to be British and living in the UK.

In my opinion, I think this article may be violating WP:PROMO. It's quite open to someone putting a Template:Advert. David44 (contact) 01:44, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
