The Labour Court dismissed the union's appeal against the termination of a member who was on strike. The employer argued that the employee's strike action constituted a valid reason for dismissal under collective agreement rules, while the union contended that the employee was entitled to alternative work. The court ruled that the employer was not obligated to provide alternative work to a striking employee and upheld the termination as lawful under the relevant collective agreement. Consequently, the appeal was rejected, confirming the employer's right to dismiss the employee for strike participation.
