The Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's cassation appeal against a labor court judgment denying an anniversary bonus. The appellant argued that an executive decree should override the collective agreement, but the court found the collective agreement's terms more favorable and legally binding. Consequently, the court held that collective agreements prevail over executive decrees when the latter do not contain specific provisions on the matter.
