핵심 쟁점, 법리 및 법원의 판단
징계사유의 존부
- 법리: '직장 내 성희롱'은 남녀 간의 육체적 관계나 신체적 특징과 관련된 육체적, 언어적, 시각적 행위로서, 사회공동체의 건전한 상식과 관행에 비추어 객관적으로 상대방에게 성적 굴욕감이나 혐오감을 느끼게 할 수 있는 행위를 의미함. 행위자에게 반드시 성적 동기나 의도가 있어야 하는 것은 아니며, 당사자의 관계, 행위 장소 및 상황, 상대방의 반응, 행위 내용 및 정도, 지속성 등 구체적 사정을 종합적으로 고려하여 판단함.

- 근로자는 D에게 자신이 제2차 교육생 채용 과정에 영향력을 행사할 수 있음을 암시하는 메시지를 보냈고, 교육생으로 채용되기를 간절히 바라던 D으로서는 이를 완강하게 거부하기 어려웠을 것임.
- D은 근로자의 행위로 인해 심한 성적 굴욕감과 혐오감을 느꼈음.
- 근로자의 행위는 동료 여직원에 대한 성희롱으로 성적 혐오감이나 성적 수치심을 유발시키는 행위에 해당함.
