    Harcèlement professionnel: halte à la mauvaise conduite administrative!

    Mon cas: harcèlement professionnel et chatiment judiciaire (jugements  1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9), mais impunité administrative:

    7, parmi ces 9 jugements, sanctionnent des décisions de Mr J.J. GAGNEPAIN (le Directeur de la Technologie au Ministère de la Recherche), parfois citant son nom propre, en ces termes: "discrimination illégale", "erreur manifeste d'appréciation", "autorité incompétente", "décision prise dans des conditions irrégulières", "décision illégale". La Justice a condamné le CNRS à payer d'importants dédommagements.
    le 25/11/2004: Par les jugements   1', 2', 3', 4', 5', 6', la Cour d'Appel rejette TOUS les appels du CNRS (sur les jugements   1, 2, 3, 4 5, 6   ci-dessus du Tribunal); le CNRS accepte cela en renonçant à aller en cassation.
