Further to its previous comments relating to the necessity of strengthening the sanctions for acts of anti-union discrimination, the Committee has taken note of the report submitted by the Government to the effect that it is in the process of amending the Labour Ordinance, Chapter 234 of the laws of Belize.

Recalling that sanctions provided for acts of anti-union discrimination should be sufficiently effective and dissuasive, the Committee once again hopes that said amendments will strengthen the fines provided for in the labour ordinance for acts of anti-union discrimination, and requests the Government to keep it informed of any development in this regard.
