The Committee has taken note of the report submitted by the Government and, in particular, of the information provided on the civil and penal sanctions that may be imposed upon an employer convicted of anti-union discrimination against workers, namely a fine not exceeding $250 or a period of imprisonment not exceeding six months (Art. 199, Ch. 234).

The Committee recalls that sanctions provided for such acts should have a dual purpose, namely to punish the guilty and, above all, to act as a deterrent against such discrimination (General Survey, 1983, para. 278). Therefore, it requests the Government to consider strengthening the fines provided for in the Labour Ordinance (Ch. 234) for acts of anti-union discrimination, and to keep it informed of any development in this regard.
