Who can use the procedures?

The mediation, conciliation and disputes procedures are open to any directly-employed JIB graded operative working under the terms and conditions of the JIB National Working Rules for a JIB member company.

The procedures are also open to registered apprentices. This includes apprentices working for non-JIB companies as this is covered under the JIB training agreements.

The procedures are also available for the resolution of collective disputes. This usually applies on larger sites where there are potential site wide implications. The JIB will, however, only become directly involved once a guarantee of normal working has been given.
