Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the dismissal was abusive because it followed the employee's good-faith demand to convert bonuses into salary.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The employee was asserting an existing employment-related claim in good faith, and the dismissal following refusal to grant that request was a retaliatory dismissal under Art. 336(1)(d) CO.
Extrahierte Begründung
The Court held that the real reason for dismissal was the salary dispute, not the alleged refusal to work. A good-faith claim need not ultimately be legally well founded; it is enough that the worker sought enforcement of an existing contractual entitlement. The demand to replace uncertain bonuses with salary was not chicanery.
