The TSJPV has overturned the dismissal of 59 workers from the JM school in Bilbao

In a statement, the ELA union has stated that the Supreme Court's admission of the appeal against collective dismissal shows that the merger with the failed Jesuitinas school and the dismissal of the workers was a "dark and poorly managed" process that caused "the concern of the families and the diversion of enrolment of the students" until, in the end, "the final closure of the school"; "all with the approval and complicity of the Basque Government", according to the union.
