Employee representatives and pension fund trustees

[ch 10: page 379]

It is automatically unfair to dismiss an employee for acting (or proposing to act) as an employee representative (or candidate) or a member of a European Works Council, or for activities in connection with information and consultation rights. Similar protection applies to trustees of occupational pension funds.
