The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal filed by a dairy cooperative against two employees seeking reinstatement and damages. The employees argued that their dismissal was invalid because the employer failed to offer them positions in other departments before terminating their contracts. The court rejected this claim, ruling that no general social rule compels an employer to propose alternative employment prior to dismissal. Consequently, the court held that the employer's decision to dismiss based on organizational restructuring and the employees' lack of necessary qualifications did not violate social rules.
