A chef, Mr. Aksakal, faced inappropriate behavior from a colleague at the Odeon Bar in Dublin, where the colleague thrust against him and yelled. The Workplace Relations Commission examined the case and noted the incident had significant sexual overtones, yet emphasized that the management took it seriously and did not condone such conduct. Ultimately, the tribunal dismissed Mr. Aksakal's discrimination claim under the Employment Equality Act 1998, confirming that Odeon maintained a workplace free of sexual harassment.
The tribunal recognized the incident's "unedifying" nature with "undeniable sexual overtones" but ruled that the Odeon took the matter very seriously.
The Workplace Relations Commission rejected the discrimination claim, affirming that the Odeon Bar and Restaurant did not tolerate sexual harassment in the workplace.
Mr. Aksakal's colleague’s behavior was deemed inappropriate, yet the tribunal found that it did not reflect a workplace culture of harassment.
In a bizarre incident, a colleague mimicked riding a horse while thrusting into Mr. Aksakal, which highlighted a serious breach of professional conduct.
