IKEA Loses In Poland's Supreme Court: The Policy Of Inclusivity Should Not Exclude Christians
(www.zerohedge.com)https://www.zerohedge.com/political/ikea-loses-polands-supreme-court-policy-inclusivity-should-not-exclude-christiansIn 2019, IKEA published an article on its company intranet that imposed the ideological demands of the LGBT movement on its employees.
In response, Janusz Komenda published a comment criticizing the announcement and included two Bible verses referring to homosexual practices.
As a result, store management decided to dismiss him. The consequences extended to those who had “liked” Komenda’s comment.
The Regional Court for Kraków-Nowa Huta ruled that his termination was unlawful and ordered his reinstatement. IKEA appealed the decision. However, the Regional Court in Kraków upheld the original ruling, stating that the dismissal was unjustified.
The court reasoned that:
The workplace should be free from ideological indoctrination.
Komenda may have perceived IKEA’s actions as an attack on his values, prompting his response.
Employers must consider that a significant portion of Poles are Christians and have the right to uphold and defend their beliefs.
IKEA could not claim that Komenda violated community standards when, in fact, the company itself had done so.
