Abstract: Out of the confusion of the occupation period, a bipartite body, the Foundation of Labor, was constituted with representatives of top employers' as sociations and trade union federations. Wage questions are dealt with by a board, created by a government decree of 1945 ; the Foundation acts in an ad visory capacity and has great influence on policy. The author discusses the or ganization and powers of these agencies, their relation to the government, the objectives of trade union policy, and wage factors and wage movements. The stability of the wage structure in the Netherlands is credited in large measure to the great restraint and sense of responsibility shown by the unions.—Ed.
