Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court dismissed the union official's appeal to reinstate him after his employer terminated his contract without notice. The court found that his failure to perform basic duties and ignore safety documentation orders constituted a particularly serious breach of employment obligations. Consequently, while the request for reinstatement was rejected, the employee retained the right to claim damages for the procedural violation of his union protection status.
