Nothing herein shall prohibit the parties from agreeing on a single arbitrator. If the parties so agree, the provisions of this article relating to an arbitration board shall apply with the necessary change in point of detail, to the single arbitrator.
Except as herein provided, The Labour Relations Act shall apply.
