Milan judge: 'Racial harassment, pay society too' (ANSA)


"Raise your armpits", "but why don't you use this?". A pizza maker said it a year ago, but with managerial functions, to some of his black work colleagues while he was spraying deodorant against them, in a public exercise of the Central Station of Milan. The video, made by a colleague, had ended up on Facebook and a cause had arisen, decided by the judge of the Milan Labor Court who jointly sentenced the employee and the company to a figure of around € 8 thousand in favor of the two workers . The judge condemned not only the author of the gesture but also the company that did not prevent a "humiliating and offensive atmosphere" from being created against the insulted workers and also imposed on the pizzeria to organize a training course to respect people. The company had claimed that the pizza maker was solely responsible for the gesture from which he distanced himself. A witness reported that he had heard phrases such as "shit Africans", "I'll send you back to Africa", "I have to buy deodorant for them". Until the drop that made the vase overflow, on January 26, 2019, in the pizzeria inside the Central Station of Milan. The employees subject to racist harassment had turned to the lawyers Alberto Guariso, Livio Neri and Daniele Bergonzi, who represent Asgi (Association for legal studies on immigration). The judge qualified the pizza chef's behavior as "racial harassment" and sentenced the employer because he actually allowed these behaviors, creating "a non-inclusive and non-welcoming working environment".
