  • posting of staff
  • tele-working
  • termination of employment
  • retirement
  • protection of agent's regular clientele
  • co-decision of employees and constitution of the establishment
  • collective bargaining agreements
  • employers agreements and official regulations, operational reconstruction
  • outsourcing
