Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court quashed the lower court's decision and remanded the case for a new ruling on costs. The plaintiffs, union officials, were dismissed by the employer despite the local union initially objecting to the termination. The Court held that the employer's subsequent consent from the local union validly overrode the statutory ban on terminating union officials for economic reasons, provided the consent was not withdrawn before the termination took effect.
