Overview
- Teatro alla Scala must pay €809.60 per month from the dismissal to the natural expiration of the fixed-term contract, plus interest and monetary revaluation, and €3,500 in legal fees.
- The case stems from May 4, when the on-duty usher shouted “Palestina libera” before a concert attended by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
- The worker is a student employed on a fixed-term contract and had no prior disciplinary sanctions.
- The court found there were no grounds for a just-cause dismissal, with the written motivations expected next week.
- The Cub union calls the sacking a political dismissal, urges a strike on November 28 and a pro-Palestine march on November 29 in Milan, and presses La Scala to renew the worker’s contract.
