The Labour Court dismissed the claim filed by the public sector union JUKO against the City of Lohja and the National Employment Services. The union argued that the collective agreement failed to cover specific training costs, while the municipality contended the agreement was clear and exhaustive. The court ruled that the union's interpretation of the agreement's scope was not supported by the text and that the employer had fulfilled its obligations under the existing terms.
