Supreme Court rules union officer gets full severance pay even if union consent existed for dismissal.

The Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding whether a union officer entitled to special job security must receive full severance pay upon reinstatement. The plaintiff argued that employer consent from the union's management committee for dismissal should negate her protected status under labor law. The court rejected this, holding that such consent does not remove the employee from special protection or exempt the employer from full compensation upon wrongful reinstatement.
