Guillaume Meurice Challenges Radio France Firing at Paris Labor Court With Ruling Set for Feb. 9

He seeks annulment of the dismissal, reclassification of roughly 250 short‑term contracts into a permanent deal, plus up to €400,000 in damages.

Overview

  • The Paris labour tribunal heard the case on December 10 and scheduled its decision for February 9.
  • Meurice’s filing contests wrongful termination and asks to requalify about 250 CDD d’usage signed since 2012 into a CDI, alongside a damages claim of roughly €400,000.
  • Radio France argues the June 2024 dismissal was for faute grave, citing repeated disloyalty, disregard of prior warnings and the regulator’s notice, with its lawyer presenting outraged listener emails.
  • The dispute traces to an October 2023 segment where he referred to Benjamin Netanyahu as “a kind of Nazi without a foreskin,” which prompted an Arcom warning; a hate‑incitement probe was later shelved.
  • After repeating the remark on air in April 2024, he was suspended and then fired; several colleagues left France Inter in solidarity, and he has since hosted a Sunday show on Radio Nova.
