The Labour Court dismissed the Finnish Electrical Trades Union's appeal against the employer's refusal to grant leave for union duties. The union argued that the employer failed to provide sufficient notice and failed to consider the employee's union obligations. The court ruled that the employer's decision was lawful because the employee had not requested leave in time and the employer had no obligation to grant it under the collective agreement.
