Social agreement restructuring obligation not violated; employer must negotiate but unions cannot block sale.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court found that the employer failed to make sufficient efforts to negotiate restructuring with trade unions before selling a business unit. While the court ruled this constituted a breach of the social agreement's duty to negotiate, it held that the sale itself was not invalid and did not deprive the restructuring of legal effects. Consequently, the court dismissed further claims but ordered the employer to undertake special efforts for future restructuring negotiations.
