• Judgment 4831

  
  138th Session, 2024
  International Telecommunication Union
  Extracts: EN, FR
  Full Judgment Text: EN, FR
  Summary: The complainant challenges the rejection of his claim for compensation for service-incurred illness.

  Consideration 10

  Extract:

  The Tribunal notes that, in consideration 13 of Judgment 3649 it found that, although, by its very nature, a staff member being escorted from her or his office by officers and being escorted out of the workplace is a humiliating experience, such a course of action is admissible in the absence of any conduct of the officers that would exacerbate the humiliation, and that moreover, the disabling of a staff member’s email account and the denial of access to certain floors and facilities are simply matters of sound business practice on the part of an organisation.

  Summary: The complainant impugns the decision not to confirm her appointment at the end of her probationary period.

  Consideration 11

  Extract:

  It is for the organization to objectively assess the professional performance and behaviour of its employee. Seeking the views of colleagues undermines the objectivity of the assessment. It also shows a lack of respect for the concerned employee and it is humiliating for her or him to know that colleagues are being asked to assess her or his performance and behaviour.

  112th Session, 2012
  International Labour Organization
  Extracts: EN, FR
  Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

  Consideration 49

  Extract:

  The complainant also contends that she was treated in an offensive and humiliating manner by reason of the failure of the Director of ILO/AIDS to respond to a number of her e-mails, or to respond in sufficient time so as to enable action to be taken. In this regard, she refers to the failure to respond in time to requests for the other members of her team to participate in meetings. She also refers to the failure to respond to her e-mails requesting a decision on certain publications. The defendant answers these allegations on the basis of the Director’s busy schedule and refers to the Tribunal’s statement in Judgment 2745, under 19, that “conduct that […] [is] the result of […] mere inefficiency [does] not constitute harassment”. However, this conduct has to be assessed in the overall context of the treatment afforded to the complainant, and when so assessed it is more probable than not that the failure to respond to the complainant’s e-mails was the result of the Director’s disdain for her work and that of the RPAU.
