The request for authorisation to dismiss a trade union delegate, a mandated employee, a member of the staff delegation to the inter-company social and economic committee or an employee adviser is sent to the labour inspector responsible for the establishment under the conditions defined in article L. 2421-3.
Where the trade union delegate also benefits from the protection provided for in sections 3 and 4 of chapter I of title I of the legislative part, the request is accompanied by the minutes of the meeting of the social and economic committee.
In this case, except in the case of a lay-off, the request is sent within fifteen days of the date on which the opinion of the social and economic committee was issued.
In all cases, the request must state the reasons for the proposed dismissal. It is sent electronically in accordance with the procedures set out in articles R. 112-9 to R. 112-9-2 of the Code of relations between the public and the administration or by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt in duplicate.
