European Union Court decided: these workers were dismissed in 1993 and are entitled to compensation 33 years later

The Court of Justice of the European Union decided on 8 September that former Air Atlantis workers, dismissed in 1993, are entitled to compensation from the Portuguese state for judicial errors. The workers accepted compensation for the dismissal believing the closure was inevitable, but were unaware that TAP, the main shareholder, would take equipment and continue part of the operations. The CJEU identified errors in the interpretation of European rules by the Portuguese Supreme Court of Justice and concluded that this court should have requested clarifications from the European court. The decision does not set amounts nor establish deadlines, and it now falls to Portuguese courts to verify whether the violation was sufficiently serious to justify reparation.
