In recent years, numerous discussions on the limits of freedom of expression in the workplace have been a popular topic of discussion in public forums. There have also been high-profile legal disputes based on conflicts between the value systems promoted by employers and the personal beliefs of employees. Current events in the international arena, particularly the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation and the operations of the Israeli armed forces in the Gaza Strip, have opened up another potential area of friction in the employment relationship. In this context, the question is whether an employee's opposition to military action can justify refusing to carry out work orders (for example, when dealing with clients from countries involved in military operations).
The legal nature of the relationship between a company and its management board (MB) member often has a number of aspects. Primary is the corporate aspect of the appointment to the MB (usually under a resolution of a meeting of shareholders or supervisory board). The second involves a board member’s rights and obligations while working for the company. In the latter, MB members with employment contracts have a specific situation, with the most complicated aspect arising when terminating their employment.
