Issue 778

Increase in damages against trade unions

The government has passed a new law substantially increasing the amount of damages that the labour movement has to pay if they take illegal industrial action.

Dismissal without notice

If an employee is found guilty of wrongdoing, their employer can terminate their employment without giving them any prior warning that they intend to do so.

Exaggerated claims

If an employer makes an offer to an employee in order to reach an agreement, that offer cannot necessarily be relied on as testimony in a later tribunal claim.
