AAC is a tripartite advisory body, which includes representatives of the government and Employer the Trade Union. On behalf of the business community, 4 representatives (2 VSB and 2 ASFA) have a seat in the AAC. AAC’s general task is to advise on the preparation and implementation of government policy on labor matters, in the broadest sense of the word. AAC advises the Minister responsible for labour matters, either on request or of its own accord.
