NJIC

A Joint Industrial Council (JIC) or National Joint Industrial Council (NJIC) was a council of employers and trade unions established in the United Kingdom to determine wage rates, terms and conditions in a specific industry. There were dozens of JICs, one for each industry. Most JICs were established between the 1920s and the 1940s. The larger JICs also had regional councils throughout the country and some industries had separate JICs for England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
