The main legal framework is Labour Law 4857 of May 2003. In addition, Law 2821 of 1983 covers union activities, and Law 2822 of 1983 deals with collective bargaining, strikes and lock-outs. Teachers, military personnel, police and civil servants (that is, anyone directly employed by central government ministries) may not organise unions. An unusual feature of Law 2821 and Law 2822 is that companies must bargain with the national leadership of unions rather than with factory chapters. The enforcement of laws on worker safety is lax, particularly in the poorly regulated construction industry and at small industrial plants. Law 4857 forbids all discrimination, whether in recruitment or remuneration, in the workplace on the basis of sex, race, religion, language or belief. In practice, however, enforcement remains problematic.
