The Labour Court rejected the Finnish Trade Union Pro's appeal against a decision terminating an employee for gross misconduct. The employer argued the employee's behavior violated trust essential to the employment relationship, while the union contended the dismissal lacked sufficient procedural justification. The court upheld the termination, ruling that the employer's assessment of the employee's conduct was reasonable and legally sound under Finnish labour law.
