Chef whose colleague thrust into him ‘as if he was riding a horse' and let out a ‘yee-haw' loses discrimination claim against Dublin nightclub
While the tribunal accepted Mr Aksakal was subjected to 'unedifying' behaviour with 'undeniable sexual overtones', it found the Odeon took the incident 'very seriously'
A chef has failed to have a Dublin nightclub held liable for the conduct of a colleague who thrust into him with his genital area 'as if he was riding a horse' and let out 'a loud 'yee-haw'' in an incident with 'undeniable sexual overtones' last year.
Rejecting the worker's discrimination claim under the Employment Equality Act 1998, the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) found the Odeon Bar and Restaurant on Harcourt Street in Dublin 2, operated by Kivaway 2 Ltd, was not a workplace where sexual harassment was tolerated.
