Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by the coal mining enterprise against the lower court's judgment. The appellant argued that the union's authorization to sign additional protocols exceeded its statutory powers, while the court found the interpretation of the union's statute correct. The court ruled that the broad definition of 'negotiations' in the Labor Code and the union's own statute included the power to sign binding agreements, thereby validating the additional protocols.
