Social package agreement between union and investor not collective agreement under Labor Code Art. 9.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a judgment that rejected the employee's claim for severance pay based on a 'Social Package'. The employee argued the package constituted a collective agreement under Labor Code Art. 9, but the court found it was merely a commercial transaction between the investor and unions lacking legal force. Consequently, the court ruled that such agreements do not create binding labor law obligations enforceable by individual employees.
