The complainant, a woman trained as an industrial mechanic, applied for a millwright apprentice position with the respondent.
She was told the job was unsuitable for a woman due to lack of facilities and potential discontent among male workers' wives.
The Board of Inquiry found that while no position was actually available at the time, the respondent discriminated against the complainant in the hiring process based on stereotypical attitudes about women in non-traditional occupations.
The Board awarded $3,000 in damages for humiliation and ordered the respondent to implement non-discriminatory hiring practices.
