The Labour Court dismissed the union's appeal against the employer's decision to adjust working hours. The employer argued that operational needs required flexible scheduling, while the union contended that collective agreements mandated specific hours. The court ruled that the employer retained the authority to determine working conditions unilaterally when no specific agreement existed to the contrary.
