Article L1265-1 of the French Labour Code

Representative trade union organisations may bring all legal actions resulting from the application of this Title on behalf of an employee, without having to provide proof of a mandate from the person concerned.

All that is required is that the employee has been notified, under conditions determined by regulation, and has not objected within a period of fifteen days from the date on which the trade union organisation notified him of its intention.

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

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