The Labour Court rejected the appeal filed by JUKO against the University of Art and Design's decision to exclude them from collective bargaining. The respondent argued that the university's specific academic and artistic nature required a separate agreement rather than inclusion in the general education sector. The court upheld the university's position, ruling that the distinct character of the institution justified the exclusion from the existing collective agreement framework.
