Key legal question
Whether the dismissal was abusive because it was motivated by the employee’s justified demands and request for a workplace solution.
Extracted holding
The dismissal was abusive within Art. 336(1)(d) OR because the employee’s protected and justified complaints were a substantial cause of the termination.
Extracted reasoning
The lower court could infer causation from the content of the dismissal letter and the short time span between the complaints and the notice of termination; the employer failed to disprove its stated reasons.
