Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court dismissed the pension fund's cassation appeal, upholding the lower court's award of a mining pension to the applicant. The applicant had worked as an underground mining instructor, though his official job title was that of a field training manager. The court ruled that the decisive factor for qualifying as mining work is the actual duties performed, not the formal job description or contract terms. Consequently, the applicant's 27 years of underground work satisfied the statutory requirements for the pension.
