The conciliation commission provided for in article L. 2623-1 may hear any collective labour dispute arising in the department or collectivity in which it sits, with the exception of collective labour disputes concerning seagoing personnel.
The conciliation commission comprises two sections. One section deals with collective labour disputes in the agricultural professions and the other with other collective labour disputes.
Cases may be referred to the Conciliation Commission: 1° By the earliest of the parties, who shall send the Chairman of the Conciliation Commission a written request setting out the points in dispute; 2° By the Prefect.
Referrals to the conciliation commission remain available to interested parties either at the Direction du travail, de l’emploi et de la formation professionnelle (Directorate of Labour, Employment and Vocational Training) or at the Service des entreprises, de la concurrence, de la consommation, du travail et de l’emploi (Department of Business, Competition, Consumer Affairs, Labour and Employment) in Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon.The Directorate or Department provides the secretariat for the conciliation commission.
The two sections of the Conciliation Commission comprise: 1° The Prefect or his representative, as Chairman; 2° A category A civil servant; 3° Four to eight employer representatives; 4° Four to eight employee representatives.
When the dispute concerns both agricultural and non-agricultural professions, the chairman of the conciliation commission may bring together members of both sections.
The agricultural section of the conciliation commission may be supplemented by a representative of the minister responsible for agriculture, appointed by the prefect.When the dispute concerns a branch of activity for which the services of the minister responsible for industry exercise the control functions normally devolved to the labour inspectorate, the section of the commission for non-agricultural sectors may be supplemented by a representative of the administration concerned, appointed by…
A prefectoral order determines the total number of employer and employee representatives. This order appoints the members of the conciliation commission for three years.
Employers’ and employees’ representatives are appointed, after consultation with the Director of Labour, Employment and Vocational Training, on the recommendation of representative employers’ and employees’ organisations at national level and representative organisations at local level.
With a view to appointing employee and employer representatives, the representative organisations submit to the Prefect lists containing twice as many names as there are posts to be filled for each of the sections of the Commission. These names are chosen from among employers or employees who actually carry out their professional activity in the area covered by the commission.
