Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employee against a lower court's award of higher wages based on an unregistered collective agreement. The employee argued that internal wage reductions agreed upon by management and unions should apply, but the court held that such agreements only become legally binding upon registration. Consequently, the court ruled that the registered collective agreement, which provided for higher pay, remained the sole valid basis for compensation during the disputed period.

Art. 24112 § 1 KP; Art. 2419 § 1 KP: Collective agreement changes or agreements between management and unions do not acquire legal binding force or enter into force until they are registered, meaning unregistered modifications cannot alter established wage obligations.
