Supreme Court dismissed appeal; foreman lacks authority to terminate contract or start notice period under Labor Code.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a miner seeking reinstatement after being fired for assaulting a coworker. The lower court found that the foreman, who witnessed the assault, failed to report it to the director until weeks later, while the employer terminated the contract shortly after. The Supreme Court ruled that the foreman is not a management body or authorized representative under the Labor Code, meaning his actions could not legally terminate the contract or start the statutory notice period.
