Article 1
1. Workers shall enjoy adequate protection against acts of anti-union discrimination in
respect of their employment.
2. Such protection shall apply more particularly in respect of acts calculated to:

(a) make the employment of a worker subject to the condition that he shall not join a
union or shall relinquish trade union membership;
(b) cause the dismissal of or otherwise prejudice a worker by reason of union member-
ship or because of participation in union activities outside working hours or, with
the consent of the employer, within working hours.


Article 2
1. Workers' and employers' organisations shall enjoy adequate protection against any acts
of interference by each other or each other's agents or members in their establishment,
functioning or administration.
2. In particular, acts which are designed to promote the establishment of workers' organi-
sations under the domination of employers or employers' organisations, or to support
workers' organisations by financial or other means, with the object of placing such
organisations under the control of employers or employers' organisations, shall be
deemed to constitute acts of interference within the meaning of this Article.


Article 3
Machinery appropriate to national conditions shall be established, where necessary, for the
purpose of ensuring respect for the right to organise as defined in the preceding Articles.
