The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal regarding a dispute over whether a worker had a labor relationship with a trade union. The court found that a contract labeled as a volunteer agreement was a sham designed to conceal actual paid employment and subordination. Consequently, the court declared the volunteer contract absolutely void and recognized the underlying relationship as a labor contract.
