Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the union activist's cassation appeal regarding his termination from a hospital. The lower courts found that the employer's decision to terminate the contract was valid because the union mandate had expired due to the activist's expulsion from the union. The court ruled that the obligation to obtain consent for termination is satisfied by the local union organization whose mandate had already lapsed, thereby negating the need for consent from a new, non-existent union structure. Consequently, the dismissal did not violate the specific protections afforded to union members whose mandates have expired.
