The ex-deputy Sira Sylla, elected in 2017 under the label of La République en Marche, was sentenced Tuesday September 6 by the Rouen industrial tribunal for moral harassment towards a ex-parliamentary assistant, at which it must also pay 76,000 euros.

“The repetition of these shipments degraded the working conditions” of 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, “not retained the hidden work” requested by the complainant.
The rest of the amount is requested for “breach of security obligation”, “overtime”, “zero dismissal”, notice indemnity, dismissal compensation and paid holidays.
The industrial tribunal also pronounces the “termination of the employment contract at the harm of Sira Sylla”, elected deputy in 2017 before being beaten in the first round in June. “The moral harassment of M me sylla” towards the complainant “is a breach of sufficient gravity to prevent the continuation of the latter’s employment contract”, according to the industrial tribunal.
The Council also specifies that the complainant, “suffering from a significant cardiac pathology” did not communicate his pathology to M me sylla when she hired because she did not prevent him not to work “. The former deputy reproached him to him.
The parliamentary assistant had been hired on January 9, 2019 and had been on work stoppage since September 2021. He asked for 50,000 euros for harassment and 34,000 euros for null or default dismissal. M me sylla, who could not be attached by AFP on Tuesday, called.
