LNG Canada contractor found guilty of not properly investigating bullying
Dexterra Group, which manages the workers living accommodations at the LNG Canada worksite, has been found guilty of violating the Worker’s Compensation Act at its Crossroads Lodge in Kitimat.
In early June 2020, Pereira was disciplined by Dexterra based on claims made by coworkers she says were conspiring to get her fired.She complained that the statements she found on a work computer were false and asked for an investigation from her union and employer. “It was bullying on steroids,” she said. “Seven coworkers had got together and wrote false statements about me to get me fired.”
In the meantime, the union had settled Pereira’s grievance on terms not to her satisfaction, because there was no determination that she had been the subject of false complaints, as she maintained. “How can you do a thorough bullying investigation and not even interview the bullies?” Pereira asked. On Dec. 15, 2022 in a review of the case, WorkSafeBC found that Dexterra was guilty of violating Section 21 of the act, which states: “Every employer must ensure the health and safety of all workers working for that employer, and any other workers present at a workplace at which that employer’s work is being carried out.”
