Labour court dismissed union's appeal against employer's refusal to grant employee leave for family reasons.

The Labour Court of Finland dismissed the Palvelualojen ammattiliitto PAM ry's appeal against Kaupan liitto ry's refusal to grant Hartman Järn Ab employee leave. The union argued that the employer failed to consider the employee's family needs under the Act on the Right to Take Leave for Family Reasons. The court ruled that the employer's decision was lawful because the employee did not meet the specific statutory conditions required for the leave request.
