cOnciliaTion!

I attended the conciliation session yesterday at the employee claims court (“Conseil des prud’hommes”). It went smoothly and positively in my favor.

The employer’s lawyer was very agitated when he learned that his long written conclusion was not read by the president. He had to improvise without preparation and he was obviously not prepared for that. My lawyer and I did not speak much. We quietly and calmly answered every questions. The president insisted 3 or 4 times that my employer should negotiate and he set the deadline to August 2016.

I thought like many people that it was like a court room with everything I saw in the movies. It was just a small room with 2 nice people. The questions were simple, practical and very humane. It was actually worth my time!

I think I will enjoy this process if it is like this all the way long. More people would try if they knew how simple it really is.
