Polish Supreme Court dismisses appeal, ruling employer termination of a long-term worker sick from unsafe conditions violates social norms.

The Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the employer's cassation appeal against a labor court decision invalidating a termination of employment. The plaintiff, a long-term employee, suffered irreversible occupational diseases due to dangerous and unhealthy working conditions in a meat processing plant. The court held that while termination is a standard method, it cannot be arbitrary or violate social norms when an employee loses health due to the employer's failure to ensure safety.
