The Supreme Court allowed the union's claim for the return of social fund funds spent in violation of the law. The lower courts found that the employer distributed benefits based on tenure instead of the required material need criterion, excluding low-income retirees while favoring high earners. The court ruled that this distribution method breached both the statutory requirements and the internal social regulations, mandating the return of the misappropriated funds.
