What were the terms of PC1003 (Wartime Labour Relations Regulations)?

PC1003 tried to achieve a balance between the competing rights of employees, both individually and collectively, and the rights of employers. Therefore,

• unions were not allowed to interfere in employers' organizations or to use tactics to force union membership. Unions could only carry out union activity at a workplace during working hours with the agreement of an employer and could not cause any restrictions on production such as slow downs.
• employers were not allowed to interfere in union affairs or to discriminate against workers who took part in union activities. Certain employees were not included in the law, for example, those who could hire and fire, and those working in agriculture.

Perhaps most importantly a comprehensive system of collective bargaining was established.
