The Labour Court rejected the appeal filed by TEAM Teollisuusalojen ammattiliitto ry against Kemianteollisuus KT ry's decision to terminate Orion Oyj's employment contract. The court found that the termination was based on genuine redundancy within the company's restructuring efforts, which was a valid ground for dismissal under Finnish labour law.
