Employee dismissed for refusing work due to management disputes; duty is to employer, not management organs.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by two employees seeking reinstatement after they stopped working following a change in the cooperative's management. The court found that the employees had voluntarily ceased performing their duties at the employer's premises, effectively breaching their contractual obligation to work for the employer rather than the management organs. Consequently, the court ruled that disputes regarding the validity of the new management did not justify the employees' refusal to perform their work duties.
