Exclusion from cooperative causes automatic contract termination without union board consent required.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the appeal against a lower court ruling that rejected the plaintiff's claim to reinstate him after his expulsion from the cooperative. The plaintiff, a union leader, argued that his removal required union board approval, but the court found his reporting of alleged crimes by management constituted a serious breach of duties. The court ruled that the cooperative law automatically terminates the employment contract upon expulsion, making such termination independent of union consent.
