Arbitration is a device for the regulation of employment and the resolution of industrial disputation. It is Australian in origins, developed as a response to the strikes and lock-outs of the early 1890s.
It has been criticised from both the right, as acting against the market and freedom of contract, and from the left, as restricting direct action.
See Stuart Macintyre and Richard Mitchell (eds) The foundations of arbitration (1989).
