Abstract/Citation
Amends provisions of the Labor Code relating to, inter alia, registration of trade unions and collective agreements. Amends s. 249 to prohibit interference or discrimination by an employer based on an employee's legal participation in labour activities; equally, amends s. 250 to prohibit interference or discrimination on the part of a trade union. Prohibits strikes or lock-outs in vital industries, which include enterprises engaged in education, communication, transport, banking and distribution of fuel. If arbitration fails, workers not engaged in a vital industry may strike; the President, however, may refer the labour dispute to compulsory arbitration. Workers participating in illegal strikes may be terminated. Also contains provisions relating to conditions under which employers may legally terminate employment (redundancy, disciplinary reasons).
