This case is about the wrongful termination of a worker and trade union representative from a company. It is notable because it is one of the few cases where the Court has discussed labor and trade union rights. It was also the first time the Court found a violation of Article 26 (Duty to Progressively Develop Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights) of the American Convention.
