Werknemer die zich misdraagt bij demonstratie zelden ontslagen: 'Lat ligt hoog'

Labour law experts state that employees who misbehave during public demonstrations in their private time rarely face immediate dismissal, as the legal threshold for such termination remains exceptionally high. While individuals captured on camera engaging in misconduct can generally expect a firm reprimand or conversation with their direct supervisor, actual summary dismissal is difficult to legally enforce in these circumstances.

The findings highlight the complex balance employers must navigate between an organization's public reputation and the stringent legal protections governing employee dismissal regarding private-sphere actions.
