Collective dismissals as mandated under the controversial 2014 Jobs Act labor market reform are not illegitimate under the Italian Constitution, the Constitutional Court ruled Monday.

It included reforms to the landmark Article 18 of the 1970 Workers Statute, which had protected people from unfair dismissal.
