"The Autorité de la Concurrence found that the union imposed an exclusivity obligation on its members, effectively barring them from offering lessons independently or through competing ski schools."
"Regulators said the clause had a 'particularly broad scope' and amounted to a restriction on instructors' ability to operate freely in the market."
"The authority concluded that the rule limited both worker mobility, by tying instructors to a single system as well as market competition, by restricting alternatives to ESF."
"Such practices risked locking up the national ski instruction market, reducing choice for consumers and opportunities for independent operators."
The Syndicat National des Moniteurs du Ski Français was fined €3.4 million for enforcing exclusivity rules that restricted ski instructors from working independently or with competing schools. The Autorité de la Concurrence found that a clause from 2006 prohibited instructors from offering private lessons or teaching for other schools, limiting their market mobility and competition. This practice risks reducing consumer choice and opportunities for independent operators, contrasting with the U.S. model where ski instruction is controlled by resorts, limiting competition.
