The new legal framework of the thresholds of dismissals, following the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union, fifth chamber, of 13 may 2015, Case C-392/13

Abstract

The application of the term “workplace” in Spanish labor law has been a very controversialissue over recent years in the legal field of collective redundancies. The determination ofthis concept acquires importance when establishing the parameters to be followed in order to establishthresholds for individual or collective dismissals. The ECJ has established a performance criterion withwhich member states must comply when developing their domestic legislation in order to clarify andunify criteria.
