Landmark Ruling: Municipal Entity Condemned for Violating Fundamental Workers’ Rights

In a recent labor court ruling, a municipal entity was found guilty of infringing the fundamental rights of one of its employees. MTH Abogados successfully represented the case, which stemmed from a claim of constructive dismissal and fundamental rights violations, including workplace harassment and inadequate working conditions.

Case Background

The affected worker, who had been employed by the entity since 2015, reported that in 2019, the workplace environment became increasingly hostile. He was transferred to an inadequate office space, lacking heating and proper furniture, and was isolated from his usual duties. His repeated requests for improved working conditions were ignored, significantly affecting his physical and mental well-being.

Court Ruling & Outcome

Thanks to MTH Abogados’ legal representation, the court recognized serious rights violations, including:
Workplace harassment by superiors.
Neglect of the employer’s duty to ensure adequate working conditions.

As a result, the court ordered the payment of compensation for:
Moral damages
Years of service
Other outstanding benefits
