The Labour Court dismissed the Finnish Food Workers' Union's appeal against the termination of an employee by the Food Industry Federation. The employee had repeatedly failed to work without valid reason, prompting the employer to issue a final warning and subsequently terminate the contract. The court found that the employer's decision was justified by the employee's persistent absence and lack of cooperation, rendering the union's arguments for reinstatement or compensation inadmissible.
