This autobiography chonicles the life, loves and trials of a British businessman from early boyhood during World War II to retirement as a senior manager at Marks & Spencer. Surviving a tough childhood during The Blitz, Reg Clark became a happily married man with four children while rising steadily through the ranks in his chosen profession.  A life of give and take, great sadness and happiness, here is an accurate glimpse of a 20th Century man coping with the stresses of marriage, a career, family life, health crises and the challenge of aging gracefully. Whilst at times smooth and tranquil, the "shallow waters" crossed in the course of his life were often treacherous and difficult to navigate. Yet Reg did so heroically and industriously, with an inherent sense of integrity and fairness - extended even to those who wronged him.

<p>Trinidad and Tobago has a very advanced system for the settlement of unresolved labour and employment disputes between employers and trade unions on behalf of workers by judicial process instead of by strike and lockout. The system has generated both condemnation and praise, but it remains nevertheless an acceptable workable method for the peaceful resolution of such disputes. The Law of Labour and Employment Disputes in Trinidad and Tobago provides an important assessment of this unique system and gives useful guidance on the operation of the Industrial Relations Act, Chap. 88:01 and the practice and procedures of the Industrial Court, a superior court of record, which is responsible for the adjudication of such disputes. The book gives an insight into the unsatisfactory industrial relations climate that existed prior to the implementation of the new system and discusses the multifarious provisions of the Industrial Relations Act, Chap. 88:01 and judgments of the Industrial Court on a variety of cases determined by it from 1965-2005. It contains chapters on the historical background to the introduction of legislation for the compulsory determination of unresolved labour and employment disputes, the beneficial effects of the legislation, the original defect in the Act concerning the power of the Industrial Court to make orders of reinstatement, the constitution, jurisdiction and powers of the Industrial Court, the provisions for recognition of trade unions as bargaining agents, collective bargaining and the binding nature of registered collective agreements, the constitution and jurisdiction of the Registration, Recognition and Certification Board, trade dispute procedures, disciplinary action, industrial action, offences and penalties, summary of relevant decisions of the Court of Appeal and a general appraisal of the system. The author, Addison Khan, M.A., L.L.M., Attorney at Law is the former President of the Industrial Court of Trinidad and Tobago, and has over 45 years' experience and expertise in industrial relations and industrial relations law. He was a former private legal practitioner and Assistant Legal Adviser of Texaco Trinidad, Inc. He has appeared as an advocate in labour and employment cases in the Industrial Court of Trinidad and Tobago and served as a judge of that Court for nearly twenty years. He is at present in private practice as an Attorney at Law, specialising in labour and employment law cases. Industrial Court judges, Legal practitioners, industrial relations consultants, trade unions, employers, workers and all others engaged in the complex and difficult tasks of settling industrial disputes will find this book of considerable assistance to them, since it is the only publication of its kind in existence.</p>
