The Labour Inspector may, after consulting the representative trade union organisations in the undertaking, authorise derogations from the conditions of seniority for eligibility to vote, in particular where their application would have the effect of reducing to less than two thirds of the workforce the number of employees fulfilling these conditions.
It may also, after consulting the representative trade union organisations in the company, authorise derogations to the conditions of seniority for eligibility when the application of these provisions would lead to a reduction in the number of candidates which would not allow the normal organisation of electoral operations.
The decision of the administrative authority may be appealed to the judicial judge, to the exclusion of any other administrative or contentious appeal.
