The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by nurses against a regional court's award of additional annual wages. The plaintiffs argued that the employer failed to provide further raises after a statutory increase, claiming this violated their rights. The court determined that the statutory increase established a permanent new baseline for future collective bargaining, meaning the employer was not obligated to match previous wage levels.
