Dismissal of an employee representative may only take place with the authorisation of the labour inspector.
This authorisation is also required for :
1° An industrial tribunal member who has ceased his duties for less than six months;
2° An employee who is a candidate for the position of industrial tribunal as soon as the employer has received notification of the employee’s candidacy or when the employee proves that the employer was aware of the imminence of his candidacy, and for a period of three months from the appointment of the industrial tribunals by the administrative authority. The benefit of this protection may only be invoked by the candidate whose name appears on the list submitted.
