Spanish court fines Mercadona €500k for firing worker who reported harassment

The ruling reinforces legal protections for whistleblowers in Spain and signals financial consequences for employers who retaliate against harassment complaints. The case is confirmed but details on the court's reasoning and whether Mercadona will appeal remain unclear.
