The STS 285/2022 of March 30 resolves a controversial issue such as the installation of video surveillance systems in the workplace. In this case, the company installed a surveillance system at different points of sale in order to reduce and avoid losses in the trade as well as improve service. However, despite the fact that it only communicated the installation to the legal representation of the workers, there were informative signs that warned of its existence both to the clients and to the workers who provided their services in this establishment. After assessing the proven facts, TS admitted the video surveillance evidence provided by the company to justify the disciplinary dismissal of the worker following the constitutional and jurisprudential doctrine configured in this matter.
