Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by four employees against a lower court's decision to reinstate them to work. The employees argued that refusing to work in unsafe underground conditions was justified, but the court found they failed to notify their supervisor as required by law. Consequently, the court ruled that their absence constituted a serious breach of their duty to work, warranting dismissal without notice.
