Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court reversed the lower court's dismissal of the employee's appeal regarding wrongful termination. The employee argued the employer failed to specify the grounds for immediate dismissal under labor law. The court held that while the employer must cite a valid reason, it is not obligated to seek a union opinion if the worker is unrepresented or the union refuses to defend them.
