Paris (AFP) – The decision outraged the Minister of Labour and associations: the Paris industrial tribunal considered that the term “PD” addressed to a hairdresser is not homophobic because “it is recognized that hairdressers regularly employ homosexuals “.
Interviewed on RTL Minister Myriam El Khomri described Friday’s judgment” outrageous “and” shocking “. Laoufi Slimane, head of private employment pole Defender of Rights, which supports the hairdresser, lamented an “enormity” legal.
homosexual defense associations, which have widely relayed on social networks , are concerned, they, a decision that “may help strengthen the homophobic climate.”
the case started in October 2014 when a young man, employed on probation in a salon Parisian hairdresser, erroneously receives a text message from his manager: “I do not care (employee, Ed), I warn tomorrow (…) I do not feel this guy: it is a right, they are all shots whores “on the facts related by the judgment of 16 December 2015, consulted Friday by AFP.
the next day, the young man comes to his workplace. The rupture of the probationary period is served on him.
“When I met him, he was a destroyed. He had come to take refuge with his family. He made several months therapy “, told AFP his lawyer, David Caramel.
considering himself a victim of discrimination related to sexual orientation, the victim, who wishes to remain anonymous, attack to industrial tribunals his employer.
this however denies any link between the rupture of the trial period and his homosexuality, despite the remarks “inappropriate” contained in the SMS manager, which “no longer part workforce today, “said the lawyer of the show, Jean-Baptiste Vienna.
half a dozen of his colleagues testified to the” relationship problems “they had with the victim whose skills were “unsatisfactory” and career claims “exaggerated” justifies me Vienna.
at the hearing, the employer had also held that the term “PD”, “entered the common language “was” a simple abuse of language “and that he had” no pejorative or homophobic sense in the mind of the manager “
-. ‘Snapshot’ of hairdresser for ladies –
A final argument that takes the industrial tribunal to motivate his judgment: “by placing himself in the context of the middle of the hair, the Board considers that the terms of employee + PD + the manager can not be recognized as about homophobic because it is recognized that the hairdressers regularly employ homosexuals especially in female hairdressers, without this a problem. “
the Board also considers that “the employer had not discriminated (…) but these are insults that were made.” It gives the employee 5,000 euros in respect of pecuniary damage.
“But we can not simply say that it was only a miserable about. It has been followed by actions “or the loss of a job for his client, denounced me Caramel.
This judgment shocking defense associations of homosexuals and transsexuals.
” This is really a condensed into three or four lines of all the insults that can undergo youth that accompanies “laments Nicolas Noguier, president and founder of the Refuge, which hosts and supports young victims of homophobia or transphobia.
And to rail against a court decision “clearly homophobic”, which “conveys clichés such as: + ladies’ hairdressers are fags +”.
Clemence Zamora Cruz, spokesman of ‘advocacy organization Lesbian, gay, bi and trans (Inter-LGBT), “condemns” his side “ordinary homophobia” a decision that “may help strengthen the homophobic climate, already significant” in the country , especially in the workplace.
the national Union of Hairdressers companies (Unec), insisting on “opening” of the trade, is unworthy of his hand of judgment “that would salons Barber zones of lawlessness “in terms of discrimination, according to its president Bernard Stalter.
” in the phase of reconstruction, “the victim, who took over” self-employment “, appealed the judgment, said his lawyer, who says: “When I got the phone, he was very touched sympathetic responses received.”
