European Court of Justice: collective dismissal also for executives (Il Sole 24 Ore, February 14, 2014, page 22)

The Court thus accepted the statement of the European Commission, which had started the litigation against the Italian legislation for a contrast with the EU legislation (Directive 98/59) which provides that the rules on collective dismissals apply to all employees, except fixed-term contracts, employees of public administrations and the crews of ships.
