Until such time as the representativeness of the professional employers’ organisations is measured following the merger of areas covered by collective bargaining agreements pronounced in application of I of article L. 2261-32 or the conclusion of a collective agreement combining the scope of several pre-existing agreements, the professional employers’ organisations that are representative in the scope of at least one branch pre-existing the merger or combination are entitled to negotiate.
The same rule applies to employee trade union organisations.
The rates mentioned in the last paragraph of article L. 2261-19 and in article L. 2232-6 are assessed at the level of the branch resulting from the merger or grouping.
