AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by three employees against a regional court's judgment. The employees argued their December 1997 letters constituted a protest rather than a formal rejection of new work conditions, claiming the lower court misinterpreted their intent. The court held that the letters contained a clear, unambiguous refusal to accept the proposed changes, making the specific rules for interpreting ambiguous declarations inapplicable.
