“The repetition of these shipments has deteriorated the working conditionsof the complainant as well as his mental health. Consequently, the council grants him the sum of 20,000 euros in damages for moral harassment. The industrial tribunal, on the other hand, did not accept the concealed work requested by the plaintiff. The rest of the sum is requested for “breach of safety obligation, overtime, invalid dismissal, severance pay, severance pay and paid leave“. The prud’hommes also pronounce the termination of the employment contract at the expense of Sira Sylla, elected deputy in 2017 before being beaten in the first round in June. “Sira Sylla’s moral harassment of the plaintiff is a breach of sufficient gravity to prevent the continuation of the latter’s employment contract“, according to the Prud’hommes.
Counsel further clarifies that the plaintiff, suffering from a significant heart condition, “did not communicate his pathology to Sira Sylla when he was hired because it did not prevent him from working“. The ex-deputy had reproached him for it. The parliamentary assistant had been hired on January 9, 2019 and had been off work since September 2021. He was asking for 50,000 euros for harassment and 34,000 euros for null dismissal or, failing that, without cause. On January 29, 2021, already, the Prud’hommes of Paris had condemned Ms. Sylla for the moral harassment of another parliamentary assistant.
Sira Sylla appealed. The former MP could not be reached by AFP on Tuesday. According to France Bleu Normandie, a third complainant was dismissed by the Rouen industrial tribunal in August 2021.
