Union stewards or former union stewards who relinquished their position for less than six months are entitled to benefits provided for in the provisions of Articles 292, 293 and 294 regarding the dismissal, re-assignment or transfer of shop stewards. In the recommendation to request for an authorisation to dismiss or appeal, the Labour Inspector or the Minister in charge of Labour shall examine whether the measure is related with the mandate of the incumbent union steward or the former one.
