They shall be deemed to be working and shall be remunerated at the normal rate during that time.
In no case may an employer not remunerate or dismiss, lay off, demote or transfer a worker, or take reprisals against or impose any other penalty on him, for the sole reason that the worker took part in committee or subcommittee meetings or tasks.
Section 47 applies, with the necessary modifications, to any worker who feels aggrieved by a practice that is prohibited by the second paragraph.
