Does the Miss France contest contravene labor law?  The court decided

Legal action had been taken by Osez le féminisme! against the Miss France company for denouncing the failure to comply with the labor code, as well as discriminatory clauses for candidates for the beauty contest.

The case was presented as the Miss France committee match against the feminists.

This Friday January 6, 2023 was the date of the decision made by the labor court, charged with examining whether or not the Miss France committee contravenes labor law. The hearing was held in June 2022.

It’s feminism dared! who attacked first by starting a lawsuit in October 2021, on the grounds of “non-compliance with the labor code and discrimination”. A clever maneuver to expose the sexism of the program through labor law.

The association had raised the fact that for the preparation of the contest, the candidates to become Miss France must participate in the rehearsals and prepare a show… without having signed any employment contract.

Dare feminism! had also indicated the criteria to which the candidates must submit, as regards their appearance or their representation of beauty, and considering that the manufacturing company “makes a mockery of labor law which prohibits all forms of discrimination relating to morals, age, family status, pregnancy, genetic characteristics, political opinions and physical appearance. »

The court declared itself competent in the matter “the existence of a job and recruitment process”. But the prud’hommes did not accept the requests of the feminist association and three former candidates and fired them. A “an intolerable decision that perpetuates a discriminatory and illegal recruitment process”, shared Give Feminism! on Twitter.
