Social package agreement binds employer and creates individual labor law rights for employees.
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court judgment that rejected employees' claims for damages based on a social package agreement. The court found that while the lower courts correctly identified the agreement as a source of labor law, they failed to determine if the employer was actually bound by it. The Supreme Court ruled that the employer's binding status is the decisive factor; without it, the agreement cannot generate individual rights or subject disputes to arbitration. Consequently, the case was remanded to the lower court to assess whether the employer was a party to the agreement.

Généré par l'IAArt. 9 § 1 k.p.; Art. 697 § 1 k.p.c.: A social package agreement becomes a source of labor law and creates individual employee rights only if the employer is a party to the agreement; if the employer is not bound, disputes arising from it cannot be referred to arbitration courts.
