Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the union leader's cassation appeal regarding her termination without prior consultation. The lower courts found that while she led a local union, the organization had lost its statutory rights to consult on personnel matters after transforming into an inter-branch entity. Consequently, the employer was not legally obligated to consult with the union before dismissing her, rendering the dismissal lawful.
