The Labour Court dismissed the Finnish Transport and Communications Workers Union's appeal against the employer's decision to terminate the employee's employment contract. The court found that the employee had committed gross misconduct by repeatedly violating safety regulations and failing to follow instructions, which justified immediate termination under the Employment Contracts Act. Consequently, the employer's decision to end the contractual relationship was upheld as legally sound and proportionate to the employee's conduct.
