Inducing persons not to join trade unions
79.  A person who, by conferring or procuring or offering to confer or procure any advantage on or for any person, induces or attempts to induce a person not to become a member or officer of a trade union or an association that has applied to be registered as a trade union, or to cease to be a member or officer of a trade union or of any such association, shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction by a District Court to a fine not exceeding $2,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months or to both:
Provided that it shall not be an offence for an employer to require as a condition of the appointment or promotion of a person to a managerial or executive position that that person shall not continue to be an officer or member of a particular trade union, unless that trade union is a trade union whose constitution and rules restrict its membership to persons in managerial or executive positions.
