153: Independence of mediation personnel
or “People who help solve workplace problems must be fair and not take sides”
You could also call this:

“You can use other ways to solve problems besides the government's official help.”

You can use mediation services that are not provided by the chief executive under section 144. This means you have the freedom to seek and use other mediation services if you want to. The law doesn’t stop you from doing this. You can choose any mediation service that suits your needs, not just the ones offered by the government.
