Section 2: Mandate.

The duties of trade union delegate are compatible with those of member of the staff delegation on the social and economic committee or trade union representative on this committee.

In the event of a change in the legal status of the employer as referred to in article L. 1224-1, the mandate of the trade union delegate or central trade union delegate continues when the undertaking which is the subject of the change retains its legal autonomy. The same applies when the modification concerns an establishment within the meaning of article L. 2143-3.

The trade union delegate’s term of office ends no later than the first round of elections to the staff representative institution that renews the institution whose election recognised the representativeness of the trade union organisation that appointed him. In the event of a significant and lasting reduction in the workforce to below fifty employees, the abolition of the trade union delegate mandate is subject to an agreement between the employer…

The number of trade union delegates for each trade union section in each company or establishment is calculated under conditions determined by decree by the Conseil d’Etat, taking into account the number of employees. The number thus fixed may be exceeded in application of the provisions of article L. 2143-4 and the first paragraph of article L. 2143-5.
