SUMÁRIO

I - Constitui justa causa de despedimento o comportamento do trabalhador que, no exercício das suas funções, não registou o abastecimento do gasóleo que efectuou por o contador se encontrar avariado, não tendo dado conhecimento desse facto à entidade patronal.

II - Tal comportamento denota nítida falta de lealdade e de honestidade e é de tal modo grave que significa a quebra de confiança que deve nortear as relações de trabalho.
