Supreme Court allows termination of collective agreement terms without union consultation if no new agreement exists.

The Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the plaintiff's claim to invalidate a termination of employment conditions based on the expiration of a collective agreement. The employer argued that the loss of the collective agreement's validity was a sufficient reason for termination, while the lower courts required specific economic motives and union consultation regarding new terms. The court ruled that the expiration of the collective agreement is a legitimate cause for termination and that informing the union about unchanged base wages was unnecessary.
