A woman in Winnipeg complained about a sexist atmosphere in the workplace. Nine years later, she has been offered $175,000 in compensation, minus some deductions, by her former employer.
In 2015, Gwen Jaques filed a complaint in the Manitoba Human Rights Commission against manufacturing firm Price Industries after she was dismissed in June from her sales job at the company.
She argued that she was discriminated against on the basis of her sex and her age at the time (53), and that she was subjected to harassment, reported CBC.
