Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Labour Court rejected the appeal filed by the Theatre and Media Workers' Union against the Theatre Workers' Union's refusal to grant annual leave. The court found that the employer's decision was lawful because the parties had not reached a written agreement on the specific leave entitlements, leaving the statutory default rules applicable. Consequently, the court upheld the lower court's ruling that the employer was not obligated to grant leave beyond what was agreed upon in writing.
