Twenty-one members of the staff of the ILO have filed complaints with the Tribunal.

Summary: The complainant contests the decisions to reject his allegations of misconduct on the part of the Secretary-General.

The complainant seeks the joinder of this complaint with his first, second and third complaints. The joinder is opposed by UNWTO.

Accordingly, the complaints will not be joined (see, for example, Judgment 4169, consideration 1).

Judgment 4381

Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Extracts: EN,
FR
Full Judgment Text: EN,
FR
Summary: The complainant challenges the changes made with respect to her salary.
Consideration 2
Extract:
The complainant seeks the joinder of his complaint with a complaint filed by another WFP staff member. This is not opposed by the FAO. However, as will emerge from this judgment and the judgment concerning the other staff member, different aspects of salary and different specific benefits need to be considered in both instances with potentially distinct factual and legal analyses. This results, in part, from the FAO’s pleas concerning the receivability of all aspects of the broadly framed complaint of the complainant and also that of the other staff member. Joinder is likely to confuse and obscure the real issues. The complainant appears to assume, as does the other staff member, that he can challenge in his complaint in these proceedings the cumulative effect of all the changes to salary and benefits as can the other staff member in hers. This, as discussed later, is not correct. Accordingly the complaints are not joined though some of the discussion in this judgment repeats what is said in the other.

Consideration 4
Extract:
The complainant sought the joinder of his complaints concerning his failed attempts to secure appointment to [a] position [...]. The ICC agreed but only if this complaint is receivable. However while the substratum of facts overlap to an extent, the sole legal issue arising in his seventh complaint does not arise in the other two complaints. Accordingly this complaint will not be joined with either of the others.

Summary: The complainant challenges the decision to consider his harassment complaint closed.
Considerations 2-4
Extract:
WHO seeks the joinder of this complaint with the complainant’s second complaint, which he filed in the Tribunal on 28 October 2018. In so doing, WHO submits that the two complaints overlap substantively with regard to several allegations which they contain. The complainant opposes the joinder on the ground that the complaints raise “legal and factual issues which have no commonality”. He relies on Judgment 656.
The Tribunal stated the following in consideration 1 of Judgment 656:
“Before the Tribunal will join two or more complaints and deal with them in a single judgment two conditions must be fulfilled.
The first is that the substance of the claims must be the same. Whether they are stated differently is of no account: what matters is that the Tribunal should be able to rule on them in a single decision.
The second condition is that the material facts, viz. those on which the claims rest and which are relevant thereto, should be the same.
The complainants need not all have the same arguments. The Tribunal rules as it sees fit and is not constrained by the parties’ submissions, variations between them being immaterial.”
The Tribunal has rejected applications for the joinder of complaints essentially on the ground that they involved no commonality of legal issues and facts (see, for example, Judgments 3620, consideration 2, 4000, consideration 1, 4114, consideration 2, and 4171, consideration 1). In Judgment 4086, consideration 8, the Tribunal rejected an application for the joinder of the complaint that was the subject of that judgment with another complaint. This was on the ground that that other complaint was not within the scope of the complaint that was the subject of Judgment 4086 and that it was accordingly not convenient to join them. Similarly, WHO’s application to join the complainant’s second complaint with the present complaint will be rejected as the former is not within the scope of the present complaint and does not raise the same or similar legal and factual issues.
