A high court in Spain has made a landmark ruling that an electrician who may have had over three litres of beer during a single workday should not have been fired - given that his drinking did not reduce his “mental faculties.”
The court in the region of Murcia, located in southeastern Spain, ruled that the electrical company that employed that man, who worked for the company for a whopping 27 years, should not have dismissed the electrician in September 2021 and gave the order to either pay the man nearly €50,000 in compensation or reemploy him.
The man was initially fired after a private investigator was hired by the company to follow the electrician in July 2021.
