Supreme Court dismissed union consent requirement for wage reduction when union covered only one plant.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal regarding a dismissal for wage reduction. The lower courts had ruled that the employer must obtain consent from a union to reduce wages, but the union in question covered only a single plant of the employer. The court held that the union's internal name did not create a legal obligation for the employer to seek consent or consultation, as the union did not meet the statutory definition of a multi-employer organization.
