Election of union representative. The union representative, who can be part-time employed, if special circumstances warrant it, is elected from among the organised, recognised skilled employees who have been em- ployed for at least one year in the company in question. Where such are not found in a number of at least 5 employees, this number is supplemented by the organised employees who have worked there the longest. A student or youth worker cannot be elected as a union representative. In a company with branches or geographically separated departments, an employee can only be elected as a union representative for the place where he or she is employed. The election is not valid until it has been approved by the federation and notified to GLS-A. This notification must be made as soon as possible and no later than 14 days after the election. Any objection on the part of the employer to the election outcome must be communicated to the federation no later than 14 days after receipt of the notification of the election. The organisations agree on the desirability of having as many eligible voters as possible participate in the election of a union representative. By approving it, the federation guarantees that all eligible voters have been guaranteed the opportunity to participate in the election.
Election of union representative. A. The trade union representative and any substitute trade union representative, who may be a part-time employee if special circumstances so dictate, are elected from among the unionized, established and skilled employees who have been employed at the enterprise concerned for at least one year. At enterprises where there are fewer than five employees with at least one year of length of service, this number is supplemented with the unionized employees who have worked there the longest. A trainee or young worker cannot be elected as a trade union representative. However, a trade union representative who enters into a training agreement with the enterprise as an adult trainee may continue to be a trade union representative. It is a condition that during the duration of any internship, the union representative works together with their election basis.

In companies where there are not at least 4 employees with 1 year seniority, this figure shall be supplemented with the longest-serving unionised employees. A trainee/student or young worker cannot be elected as a union representative. However, a union representative who enters into an education agreement with the company as an adult trainee/student after 1 May 2017 can continue to be a union representative. It is a prerequisite that the union represent- ative works together with his or her constituency during any traineeship periods. Temporary workers from temp agencies do not have the right to vote in the election of a union representative at the user company. There is a right to elect a union representative during working hours. This shall be agreed locally.
