Labour court dismissed union's appeal against termination, ruling employer's conduct was not sufficiently serious to justify dismissal.

The Labour Court dismissed the Palvelualojen ammattiliitto PAM ry's appeal against the termination of an employee by Palvelualojen työnantajat PALTA ry. The court found that while the employer had a legitimate interest in the termination, the employee's conduct did not reach the threshold of seriousness required to justify dismissal under Finnish labour law. Consequently, the court held that the employer's actions were not sufficiently severe to warrant the termination, leading to the rejection of the union's request to reinstate the employee.
