relates; or

(b)arrangements for the handling of redundancies;

(2) The Department shall not make an order under this Article in respect of an

arbitration or otherwise) in cases where an employee to whom the agreement
relates claims that any employer or other person to whom it relates has not
complied with the provisions of the agreement, and that those procedures
include a right to arbitration or adjudication by an independent referee or
body in cases where (by reason of an equality of votes or otherwise) a
decision cannot otherwise be reached; or

(b)the agreement indicates that any such employee may present a complaint to
an industrial tribunal that any such employer or other person has not complied
with those provisions.

(3) An order under this Article may confer on an industrial tribunal to whom a
