The complainant organization alleges that Lan Chile S.A. conducted a campaign to break up its organization that began in 2001 and took the form of a series of illegal practices of anti-union discrimination, above all in connection with negotiations aimed at concluding a new collective agreement. According to the complainant, these practices included the following: a publicity campaign against the trade union; the mass dismissal of unionized pilots; threats of dismissal; pressure exerted on pilots and their family members so that the former withdrew trade union membership; discrimination against trade union members with regard to training; the re?employment of dismissed pilots (or their recruitment in subsidiary enterprises) under anti-union conditions (the acceptance of individual responsibility for the industrial action entitled “work-to-rule”, a written statement that the trade union ordered them to participate in this action and acceptance to be covered by individual employment contracts rather than the collective agreement); and harassment of trade union officials.
