Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Amelie W. against the Warsaw Labor Court's judgment awarding her seniority and severance pay. The lower court found that the employer validly obtained majority employee approval for wage system changes through internal meetings since no union organs existed at the time. The Supreme Court upheld this procedural finding, rejecting the claim that the employer's internal consultations did not constitute the required positive opinion of the workforce majority.
