Supreme Court allows dismissal due to retirement eligibility as socially justified organizational redundancy under Polish Labor Code.

The Supreme Court of Poland quashed the lower court's ruling that declared the employee's dismissal invalid and remanded the case for a new decision. The employee, a long-term miner, was dismissed due to organizational restructuring, yet he had already met the conditions for a mining pension. The court held that dismissing workers who qualify for early retirement is socially justified and constitutes a valid reason for termination under the Labor Code. Consequently, the dismissal was deemed lawful despite the employee's initial objection.
