Supreme Court dismisses cassation, ruling union committee members need union committee consent for job changes.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a union committee member seeking reinstatement after her employment terms were unilaterally changed. The lower court found the employer failed to obtain consent from the union committee, noting that the union's internal election of a presidency did not strip the full committee of its authority to represent members. The court held that special protection for union officials applies regardless of whether they serve on the elected presidency, requiring consent from the committee itself for adverse employment changes.
