The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeals filed by five union activists seeking reinstatement to their jobs at a coal mine. The lower court found that the plaintiffs, experienced union leaders, committed physical aggression and violated the dignity and bodily integrity of other workers during a strike action. The court ruled that such extreme conduct, lacking justification within strike emotions, exceeded acceptable criticism and warranted denying the special protection of employment tenure.

Art. 8 k.p.; Art. 398 § 1 k.p.c.: The right to special protection of the employment relationship for union activists is not absolute and may be denied when the activist commits particularly reprehensible acts, such as physical aggression or violations of human dignity, which supersede the interest in maintaining their employment tenure.
