The Portuguese State was sentenced to compensate workers who had been dismissed by TAP 33 years ago. The decision was made by the Supreme Court of Justice, which confirmed a previous sentence from the Judicial Court of the district of Lisbon.
The workers affected by this decision were dismissed from the Portuguese airline in 1991. The process dragged on for decades until it reached the Supreme Court of Justice, which has now ruled in favor of the former TAP employees.
The concrete values of the compensation claims are not known. However, according to the news, these amounts could rise to several million euros, which represents a significant financial impact for the Portuguese State.
This conviction comes at a time when TAP has been at the center of various controversies and state interventions. The case of workers dismissed more than three decades ago now forces the State to assume historical responsibilities regarding the airline.
