16 female workers at BC Ferries file human rights complaint
Sixteen female employees working in the engineering department for B.C. Ferries have filed a B.C. Human Rights Tribunal complaint alleging a “climate of harassment and bullying of women” in the workplace.
“The lack of facilities draws focus to their status as women, causes them to feel different, unwelcome, humiliated, and unsafe in the workplace,” the complaint says. Laurence Grey Spencer, the representative who brought the complaint forward, says disclosing the names would put the group in danger.
