The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal against a lower court ruling that found the company had not fulfilled its mandatory negotiation obligations. The company argued it did not need to negotiate with the union, but the court held that the statutory duty to negotiate applies regardless of the company's internal position. Consequently, the company was ordered to engage in negotiations as required by the Act on Cooperation in Enterprises.
