The Court of Appeal dismissed the employees' challenge to their dismissals, ruling that the employer's financial losses and production failures constituted a special heavy reason under TSL 37 § 2. The employer successfully argued that the dismissal order complied with the collective agreement regarding the sequence of terminations.

Työnantaja oli taloudellisista ja tuotannollisista syistä aiheutuneen toimintansa tappiollisuuden vuoksi irtisanonut työntekijöitään. Irtisanomisiin katsottiin olleen TSL 37 §:n 2 mom:ssa tarkoitettu erityisen painava syy. Kysymys oli myös siitä, missä järjestyksessä työntekijöitä saatiin irtisanoa.

Työnantajan ei katsottu poikenneen keskusliittojen välisen irtisanomissuojaa koskevan sopimuksen määräyksistä.
