Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court quashed the Regional Court's decision invalidating the employer's termination due to a procedural error regarding union consultation. The employer had requested information from two active trade unions but received no response, while the employee was unaware of her union protection status. The court ruled that the employer is not legally obligated to consult a union that fails to provide the requested information, thereby validating the termination.
