**In a matter referred by the Catalan High Court for a preliminary ruling, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has ruled, in its Judgment of February 22, 2018, that under Spanish legislation it is legal to dismiss a pregnant worker included in a collective layoff proceeding, provided that the criteria according to which the worker was included are objective and are unrelated to the pregnancy.**
