Right of workers and employers, without distinction whatsoever, to establish and to join organizations3

Distinctions based on occupational category

Workers who have been dismissed

  1. A provision depriving dismissed workers of the right to union membership is incompatible with the principles of freedom of association since it deprives the persons concerned of joining the organization of their choice. Such a provision entails the risk of acts of anti-union discrimination being carried out to the extent that the dismissal of trade union activists would prevent them from continuing their trade union activities within their organization.
