Employer's failure to consult trade union before dismissal mandates reconsideration of reinstatement claim.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court quashed the lower court's reinstatement order because the employer violated its statutory duty to consult the trade union prior to dismissal. Although the employee's theft of tickets was proven, the employer failed to inform the union as required by law, a procedural flaw the court deemed sufficient grounds for reconsideration. Consequently, the case was remanded for a new decision on both reinstatement and potential damages.
