  • The Toulouse University Hospital was condemned at the end of the year by the administrative court for not having protected one of its employees, the victim of harassment by a manager of his department.

  • The superior at the origin of the harassment was subject to disciplinary sanctions.

She felt persecuted, harassed.

For several months in 2016, an employee of the material resources department of the Toulouse University Hospital received explicit emails from a manager of her department.

She also denounced advances, physical contact or even imposed kisses despite her refusal.

On December 17, the Toulouse administrative court ordered the Toulouse University Hospital to pay compensation to the victim for not having protected him from sexual harassment committed by the other agent.

“The Toulouse University Hospital had been alerted to the situation via the agent and the CGT, bodies such as the CHSCT which requested an independent expertise from the Socio-scoop cabinet.

In his report, he indicated that he had observed professional and managerial practices on the material resources pole on the sexual register ", recalls the union, which regrets that the alert was" not taken seriously by the management of the CHU " .

The latter has already indicated that it will not appeal this decision, "making the fight against harassment and discrimination an institutional priority".

Disciplinary sanctions

“As soon as this matter was brought to the attention of the human resources department in December 2017, an administrative investigation was immediately launched.

Disciplinary sanctions were taken against the agent concerned, as well as the hierarchical superior of this agent and the victim ”, continues the Toulouse University Hospital.
