| The complainants allege the replacement of workers involved in a legal strike in 2004 at the Television Corporation of the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile (Channel 13 TV); the use of staff supply companies and false contracts for provision of services instead of employment contracts, leading to a fall in union membership, for anti-union purposes; mass dismissals since 2001 and other anti-union practices; discrimination against the general secretary of the union by assigning certain operations for which he had been responsible to a contracting enterprise; pressure from the corporation for workers to abandon collective bargaining, along with economic incentives for those who were not part of the bargaining group and disincentives for members of the group; failure to comply with the provisions of the collective contract; the recent dismissal of three union members; the fact that it is impossible for the union to recruit members contracted through external enterprises; and the signing by workers of individual contracts imposed by the corporation which exclude them from collective bargaining |
