Congédiement illégal — Une mise-à-pied est-elle un congédiement au sens de la loi ?

An employee who is laid off is dismissed in the sense of Sections 21a) ff. A lay-off for union activities is a mischief that the legislator intended to suppress by the said enactment. To decide otherwise would be to open the door to an unscrupulous employer, who in the guise of a lay-off, would effectively dismiss an employee, thereby indirectly achieving the illegal purpose which is directly forbidden to him by law.
