The complainant, a plant supervisor with eight years of service, was summarily dismissed by the general manager.
The Board of Inquiry found that the general manager harboured animosity towards the complainant because she was a woman, and that her sex was a material element in the decision to dismiss her.
The corporate respondent and the general manager were found jointly and severally liable for sex discrimination under the Human Rights Code.
The complainant was awarded $24,240 for lost wages, $2,500 for mental anguish, and interest.
