The complainant, a black woman, alleged that the respondent company discriminated against her on the basis of race and colour by failing to hire her for a packaging position.
The Board of Inquiry found that while a prima facie case of discrimination was established, the respondent provided a legitimate, non-discriminatory explanation.
The respondent demonstrated that many applicants, including white applicants, were treated identically due to the large volume of applications for few positions.
The complaint was dismissed.
