The Labour Court rejected the Finnish Building Union's appeal against Infra ry's decision to terminate Seepsula Oy's employment contract without notice. The court found that the employer had sufficient evidence of gross misconduct justifying immediate termination under Finnish labour law. Consequently, the union's claim for a notice period was rejected as the employee's actions met the statutory threshold for summary dismissal.
