These two issues are closely related. Here in Mexico, a lot of companies share "blacklists" of ex-employees that have gone to labour court, regardless of the reason or the result. Because of this, very few people ever go to labour court against a company here, even if they know that they're legally on the winning side. Fortunately not all companies are like that, but the chilling effect still remains.
