Abstract
The Act establishes the organizational framework for several key institutions within agricultural labour law in Styria. It sets up an Upper Conciliation Commission, a Land and Forestry Arbitration Board, an Equal Treatment Commission, and a Land and Forestry Inspection authority. These bodies are composed of representatives from agricultural employers, land workers, and legal experts appointed by the regional government. The law details the appointment procedures, terms of office, and responsibilities of members, emphasizing balanced representation and procedural rules for decision-making, including confidentiality and independence from instructions. The Act also regulates the functioning and procedural aspects of these bodies, including how meetings are convened and decisions are made, with provisions for non-public sessions and possibilities for electronic communication. The Arbitration Board is designed to resolve disputes between agricultural employers and employees efficiently, while the Equal Treatment Commission addresses discrimination issues within the sector. The text consists of 15 Articles.
