Cass., sez. lav., 1°.2.2007, n. 2233 - Il dirigente pubblico illegittimamente licenziato gode della tutela ex art. 18, Stat. Lav.. The public official has the right to unfair dismissal
reintegration art. 18, L. No 300 of 1970 regarding the employment relationship with the public key belonging Administration, while the '
management post below is subject to the rules provided for open-end .
This diversity is justified on the basis of
peculiar ways of accessing the status of manager in the public sector , which are based on art. 28, paragraph 1, Legislative Decree no. 165 of 2001, according to which such access must be made through competitive examination
, who obviously has the task of switching the roles of the public awarding Authority that the new leadership has demonstrated the necessary requirements to belong to that category.
Only after the introduction of the employment relationship fundamental fact
the employer may intervene with public authorities and private and only for the management del rapporto sottostante , una volta avvenuta l'attribuzione dell'
incarico della funzione dirigenziale ex art. 19, d.lgs., cit. , che è
contratto di lavoro a termine non eccedente i tre anni .
Inoltre, l'
art. 21, d.lgs. n. 165 del 2001 offre la facoltà del recesso dal rapporto con il dirigente pubblico, con riferimento al rapporto fondamentale, solo a fronte delle mancanze più gravi (rilevate con le garanzie di cui al d.lgs. n. 286 del 1999 e ferma restando l’eventuale responsabilità disciplinare ricavabile dal contratto collettivo),
prevedendo, negli altri casi, l'impossibilità del rinnovo dell'incarico di funzione oppure il suo collocamento a disposizione in leadership roles in art. 23, Leg., Cit. , saving thus the fundamental relationship, even in deference to the traditional stability of employment for civil servants.
This excludes the applicability of the principle of freedom to recedibilità nutum (art. 2118 cc) -employment of the public official (the principle that remains, therefore, confined nell'alveo of private relationships).
According to this reconstruction, then, the '
art. 51, Leg., Cit. that the second paragraph - in regulating the ratio of civil servants under contract -,
makes Article. 18, Stat. lav. also for this special case labor law must be interpreted as meaning that the real protection is granted to the public official unlawfully dismissed,
in reference to his main employment relationship with the Administration, as the exclusion of reintegration - by art. 10, L. No 604 of 1966 - is open only for private managers (area of \u200b\u200bfree recedibilità).
Consequently,
with regard to the underlying relationship - which in this case had two-year term -, given its equivalence to that of the white collar category (Article 21, law no., Cit.)
the employer must be ordered to pay damages consisting in the payment of wages from the date of dismissal to the expiration of the contract .
So decided the Supreme Court set aside the ruling of Judge of Appeal, which, varying the decision of first instance (which had recognized the real protection to the officer unlawfully dismissed for delay in sending the termination of the agreement prior to the test ' office), it had recognized the proper compensation to the manager (only from the date of dismissal up on the completion of function) but had ruled out its reintegration into the workplace, based on the ground that this was excluded from the provisions of 'Art. 10, L. No 604 of 1966, thus limiting the scope of operation of real protection.
