Overview
- The National Labor Appeals Court confirmed the employer had cause to terminate the worker on grounds of loss of trust.
- Internal security footage from March 2023 showed the logistics employee removing a union-issued package designated for a colleague at the Buenos Aires facility.
- The worker’s claim of authorization from a union delegate was not proven, as the delegate denied granting permission and witnesses said the box never reached its recipient.
- The judges acknowledged the low monetary value yet found an objective breach of good faith, diligence, and fidelity given the trust-related functions and the employee’s brief tenure.
- The court rejected broader claims, ordered only minor differences in the final settlement updated by the INDEC CPI with annual interest, and noted the company provided required employment certificates on time.
