✓ Correct Answer
file a claim for protection against dismissal
The correct answer is: “file a claim for protection against dismissal”. The right to form trade unions and employers' associations is guaranteed in Article 9 Paragraph 3 of the Basic Law as freedom of association. Collective agreements and the right to strike are central instruments for protecting employee rights.
