Spanish Court Protects Workers' Rights: Second Job Doesn't Justify Dismissal

Spanish Court Rules Against Unjustified Dismissal Based on Second Job. A recent ruling by the Spanish High Court of Justice has clarified the rules surrounding the use of banked working hours for secondary employment. The court determined that using these hours for a second job does not automatically justify dismissal, unless it constitutes habitual abuse. This decision has significant implications for workers' rights and the power of employers. The ruling protects the role of labor unions and limits the disciplinary authority of companies. "This is a crucial step for workers' rights," stated a spokesperson for a labor union. The court's decision serves as a reminder of the importance of upholding fundamental labor rights and the role of unions in protecting workers.
