The Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court ruling that invalidated employment conditions for long-term bus drivers. The plaintiffs argued that the employer's claim of a collective agreement expiration was false, while the employer contended that the legal transformation did not trigger full labor law succession. The court held that the transformation of a municipal budget facility into a limited liability company constitutes a legal succession under the Municipal Economy Act, which transfers all individual and collective labor rights and obligations to the new entity.
