The dismissal of an elected member of the staff delegation of the Social and Economic Committee, whether full or alternate, or of a trade union representative on the Social and Economic Committee, may only take place after authorisation from the Labour Inspector.
A former elected member of the social and economic committee staff delegation and a former trade union representative who has been appointed for two years and is not reappointed when the committee is renewed also benefit from this protection for the first six months following the expiry of their term of office or the disappearance of the institution.
