Estados Unidos de América - Anti-union discrimination (2013)

Every year, thousands of charges are filed against employers alleging discrimination against workers because of their union membership or support, and every year the National Labour Relations Board awards millions of dollars in back pay to workers that have been unlawfully dismissed. In FY 2009, the last year for which data is available, employers were required to pay back pay totalling more than $76 million dollars to more than 14,500 workers and more than 1,500 illegally terminated workers were offered reinstatement.
