With reference to its previous comments in which it asked the Government to indicate the measures that had been taken to increase the fine of between one hundred (100) and one thousand (1,000) quetzales (section 272(a) of the Labour Code), imposed on employers who oblige or try to oblige workers to relinquish membership of their union or to join a union (section 62(c)) to ensure that this penalty remained sufficiently dissuasive, the Committee notes with satisfaction that Decree No. 64-92 of 2 December 1992 provides in section 24(a), for an increase in the above fine which is now of between one thousand five hundred (1,500) and five thousand (5,000) quetzales.
