Union members' dismissal claim dismissed; union consent requirement absorbs consultation duty under Polish Labor Code.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe 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.
