Supreme Court dismissed appeal; collective agreements do not create special labor protection under Art. 47 k.p. for severance pay.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's complaint against a lower court ruling that denied severance pay to an employee. The lower court had granted compensation based on a collective agreement guaranteeing job security for nine years, but the Supreme Court held that such agreements cannot establish the special protection required by Article 47 of the Labor Code. The court reasoned that collective agreements are not universally binding laws and therefore do not qualify as the statutory source of special protection necessary to trigger the full severance package.
