Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98) - Guatemala (Ratification: 1952)

Article 1 of the Convention. The Committee once again urges the Government to indicate in its next report the measures that it has taken to re-examine, in the light of inflation, section 272(a) of the Labour Code of 1961, which lays down a fine of between 100 and 1,000 quetzales for employers who make it compulsory or attempt to make it compulsory for workers to leave the unions of which they are members or to join trade unions (section 62(c)), so that this sanction retains its dissuasive nature.
