The Labour Court dismissed the Finnish Union of Electrical Workers' appeal against the employer's refusal to grant annual leave. The employer argued that operational requirements and staffing levels made granting leave impossible at that time, while the union contended that the statutory right to leave could not be withheld. The court ruled that the employer failed to demonstrate that granting the leave would cause significant operational disruption, thus upholding the refusal.
