Legislator summary

The Supreme Court allowed the employer's second dismissal of the employee, overturning a lower court's order to reinstate him. The employee had previously won a reinstatement case because the employer failed to follow formal procedural rules for group dismissals, but the court found no substantive economic justification for the second dismissal. The court ruled that a prior judgment declaring a dismissal invalid due to procedural flaws does not prevent the employer from using the same economic reasons for a subsequent dismissal.
