Questão jurídica principal
Whether the municipality could immediately dismiss the employee for just cause without prior formal warning.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The employee's repeated disrespectful and discriminatory conduct toward applicants, given the function's demands, constituted serious misconduct justifying immediate dismissal.
Fundamentação extraída
The Federal Court held that the cantonal court underestimated the gravity and repeated nature of the misconduct and ignored the impact on the impartial image required of the naturalization service. A prior warning was not necessary in these circumstances.
