Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Stanisław M., a union official seeking reinstatement after his dismissal. The Regional Court had granted reinstatement because the employer failed to obtain the required consent from the local union, which was protected under special stability clauses. The Supreme Court ruled that this protection applies exclusively to local union branches meeting the strict statutory requirement of having at least ten active members, a condition the appellant's branch failed to satisfy.
