A female Toronto police officer claims she didn’t receive tens of thousands of dollars in support, something she says her male colleagues would have received.
The officer claims in a duty of fair representation complaint that the Toronto Police Association let her rack up about $45,000 in legal fees to fight for compensation in an injury claim, as Ontario's Ministry of Labour tells CTV News it's going to look into more options for officers who believe they have been discriminated against.“She has been sexually harassed. She was assaulted by a male officer, punched in the chest,” said her lawyer, Angelo Sciacca.
Darya has filed a human rights complaint against the TPS, alleging that she was punched in March 2011, other officers didn’t do a complete investigation, and enduring assault and harassment from other officers was required to keep her job. “Our challenges go well beyond isolated or rare cases. This is a problem that our own membership says exists and it’s unacceptable,” he said.
Ontario's Human Rights Tribunal ruled in McWilliam's favour, and ordered her supervisors at 23 Division to receive training on their obligations to proactively provide a workplace free of sexual harassment.
