"It is good that the district court has ruled that employees have the right to criticize and raise problems. It is also a reminder to other companies that you cannot dismiss employees so lightly," Lisa Melin, union lawyer at Unionen, tells the newspaper.
In conversations with the CEO, the woman had also expressed concern that a partner had been convicted of financial crime.
The employer justified the dismissal with difficulties in cooperation and disloyalty to the company. According to the Stockholm District Court, these claims were too vague and not proven. The woman was awarded damages of 135,000 kronor. The verdict has not been appealed.
This is about an employee who we have terminated due to serious difficulties in cooperation, but otherwise I do not want to comment, the company's HR manager tells the newspaper.
