Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a union station against two union members seeking reinstatement. The court found that the employer's dismissal was lawful because the union's management explicitly refused consent to the termination, a duty that supersedes the general consultation requirement. Consequently, the court ruled that the employees' conduct did not justify the dismissal and that the Labor Code protections for union activists were not violated.
