...continued Settlements
Mr. Tran and his wife Quyen Tran were co-owners of the restaurant. Mr. Tran died in November 1995 and Mrs. Tran agreed to settle the complaint without admission of liability and to pay compensation of $5,000 to Ms. Shiels.
Chief Commissioner/Director Donna Scott said: "Young women who are just starting out in the workforce may be particularly vulnerable to sexual harassment. It can be a devastating introduction to the world of work when sexual harassment is an unwritten part of the job description."
A sexual harassment complaint was settled in November after a Saskatoon woman complained about sexual joking and sexual comments in her workplace.
In June 1994, Joanne Peters quit her job as a meat processing labourer at Boryski's Butcher Block after 20 days, saying she could not continue to work in an atmosphere that degraded her as a woman. She alleged that sexual joking and sexual comments were a regular occurrence.
Victor Boryski, owner of Boryski's Butcher Block Ltd. in Saskatoon, agreed to the settlement without admission of liability. He paid Peters $1,250 in compensation and also agreed to attend a workshop on sexual harassment, to provide each new employee with the Commission's pamphlet on sexual harassment, and to provide Peters with a written apology.
