Supreme Court dismisses appeal; fire chief hired by appointment, not appointment, under municipal fire brigade law.

The Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's cassation appeal against a labor dispute ruling regarding the employment basis of a municipal fire chief. The lower courts had determined that the chief was hired by appointment under the Municipal Fire Brigade Act, arguing that the law implied a change from appointment to appointment upon the new statute's entry into force. The Supreme Court rejected this, holding that the statute merely defined the appointing authority without specifying the employment basis, and thus the chief remained hired by appointment unless the municipal bylaws explicitly stated otherwise.
