Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court partially allowed the plaintiff's claim to restore previous working conditions and wages. The employer argued that after the expiration of the collective agreement and the invalidation of the relevant legal provision, they were free to unilaterally change employment terms. The court ruled that the employer is no longer bound by the expired agreement and may issue new terms, rejecting the plaintiff's argument that such changes require specific legal bases under the Labor Code.
