Article L2511-1 of the French Labour Code

The exercise of the right to strike may not justify termination of the employment contract, except in the event of gross negligence attributable to the employee.

Exercising the right to strike may not give rise to any discriminatory measure as referred to in article L. 1132-2, in particular with regard to pay and social benefits.

Any dismissal made in the absence of gross misconduct is automatically null and void.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L2511-1

L’exercice du droit de grève ne peut justifier la rupture du contrat de travail, sauf faute lourde imputable au salarié.

Son exercice ne peut donner lieu à aucune mesure discriminatoire telle que mentionnée à l’article L. 1132-2, notamment en matière de rémunérations et d’avantages sociaux.

Tout licenciement prononcé en absence de faute lourde est nul de plein droit.
