The recognised representativeness of a category-based trade union organisation affiliated to a category-based trade union confederation in respect of the employees it is statutorily entitled to represent gives it the right to negotiate any provision applicable to that category of employees.
Where the branch agreement or professional agreement only concerns a specific professional category covered by an electoral college, its validity is subject to its signature by one or more representative employee trade union organisations having obtained, in the elections taken into account for the measurement of the audience provided for in 3° of article L. 2122-5 or, where applicable, in the elections referred to in article L. 2122-6, at least 30% of the votes cast in this college in favour of organisations recognised as representative at this level, irrespective of the number of voters, and in the absence of opposition from one or more representative employee trade union organisations having obtained in this college a majority of the votes cast in favour of the same organisations at these same elections, irrespective of the number of voters.
