Court protects workers from unagreed weekend work shifts

A recent court ruling, sentence 1643/2025, protects workers from being forced to work weekends or holidays without proper legal procedures. This decision could impact many employees. The ruling clarifies that employers cannot unilaterally change work schedules to include weekends or holidays, especially if employees previously worked Monday to Friday. Such changes require formal procedures, including prior notice, justification, and negotiation. The case arose from employees whose schedules were altered without consent. The ruling protects workers' rights and highlights the need for companies to follow legal protocols when modifying work conditions.
