Article L1247-1 of the French Labour Code

The trade union organisations that are representative in the company may take legal action on behalf of an employee, without having to prove that they have a mandate from the employee concerned.

The employee is notified of this under conditions determined by regulation and must not have objected within a period of fifteen days from the date on which the trade union organisation notified him of its intention.

The employee may always intervene in the proceedings initiated by the union and terminate them at any time.

Le salarié peut toujours intervenir à l’instance engagée par le syndicat et y mettre un terme à tout moment.
