Legislator summary

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a labor court ruling that upheld an employer's termination of an employee during parental leave. The employee, a telephone operator, was dismissed due to the plant's transition from manual to automatic telephone systems, a structural change within the postal service. The court ruled that while Article 41 of the Labor Code protects leave under three months, the specific statutory provision for plant-specific dismissals overrides this protection for longer leave periods.
