Debates around unfair dismissal concern multiple issues: the amount and extent of compensation; whether reinstating a worker should be mandatory rather than a mere option; whether severance pay should be regarded as compensation or salary; and whether it should be related or not to the option of reinstatement. Yet, beyond these questions, other interrogations are hanging over the institution of dismissal which must be resolved and paid attention to. Indeed, they affect different aspects of the institution’s mechanisms and are specifically: the dismissed worker’s right to a prior defence and the loss of the representative status in the case of disciplinary dismissal. Both issues are today raising uncertainty because the judicial solutions currently being adopted may be contravening certain precepts of international texts, notably ILO Conventions No. 158 and No. 135. The aim of this paper was to analyse both problems in detail in order to draw the correct conclusions.
