Developments: 2. The Italian Supreme Court (Cassazione) has issued rulings addressing employer authority and employee rights in the workplace. In one instance, the Court ruled that employers cannot use GPS data, Telepass records, or private investigators to monitor a worker’s routine performance. This decision followed the dismissal of a waste collection driver who was tracked via GPS and private detectives for taking unauthorized breaks; the Court deemed these controls illegitimate for verifying job performance, resulting in the worker’s reinstatement and compensation. In a separate ruling, the Court upheld the dismissal of an employee who refused to wear a mask. While the national state of emergency had concluded, the Court found that internal safety protocols agreed upon with worker representatives remained valid. The judges noted that under Article 2087 of the Civil Code, employers are required to implement measures to protect the physical integrity and moral personality of their employees. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-10: Italian Supreme Court issues rulings on worker surveillance and safety protocols The Italian Supreme Court has ruled on labor rights, prohibiting certain surveillance for performance monitoring and upholding dismissals for refusing to follow company health and safety protocols. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/italian-supreme-court-issues-rulings-on-worker-surveillance-and-safety-protocols ### 2026-08-26: Italian Supreme Court rules on mobile phone radiofrequency disclosure Italy's Supreme Court ruled that mobile phone manufacturers have an obligation to inform users about potential radiofrequency risks, even if scientific certainty is lacking, to support preventive safety. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/italian-supreme-court-rules-on-mobile-phone-radiofrequency-disclosure --- Cite as: Italian Supreme Court labor law rulings.
