Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a labor court decision restoring the plaintiff's employment terms. The plaintiff, a union executive, was terminated due to organizational changes that increased job requirements without reducing overall staff numbers. The court held that such changes, lacking a reduction in employment, do not legally justify terminating the employment conditions of a union executive without union board consent.
