Referring to its previous comments concerning the importance of sufficiently effective and dissuasive measures against acts of anti-union discrimination, the Committee notes with satisfaction that, according to sections 4, 5, 6 and 11 of the Registration, Status and Recognition of Trade Unions and Employers' Organizations Acts (1999), complaints of anti-union discrimination or interference may be presented to the Tribunal. If the complaint is well founded, the Tribunal can make such order as it deems necessary to secure compliance of the law. The Tribunal may order reinstatement, the restoration of benefits or the payment of compensation.
