The Committee notes that the Government’s report indicates that the Employment Act 2006 has been adopted into law. In addition, referring to its previous observation, the Committee notes with satisfaction that the Act provides for: enhanced protection against discrimination on trade union grounds at recruitment, during employment and at termination of employment; the right of workers to make use of trade union services; a prohibition on employer offers to workers designed to induce them to alter their union membership, activities, or bargained-for terms and conditions of employment; empowering the Employment Tribunal to order reinstatement of unfairly dismissed employees; and greater protections for workers taking industrial action, including the ability of the employee to file a complaint with the Employment Tribunal if they are subject to dismissal or other adverse action for taking lawfully organized, official industrial action.
