“Employers told to pay attention as sexist, racist, discrimination cases increasing” by Jenny Lee, Vancouver Sun.
Vancouver Sun quotes Vancouver lawyer Stephanie Gutierrez in an article about workplace harassment legal cases increasing.
“I believe we will see more of these cases come up,” said lawyer Stephanie Gutierrez of Fasken Martineau, which is Schrenk’s pro bono counsel. “Human rights is a hot button topic these days.”
Former CBC Radio personality Jian Ghomeshi’s highly public criminal case in which he was charged, tried and acquitted of four counts of sexual assault is a reminder that harassment issues need to be addressed and investigated quickly, said Gutierrez, who is seeing a notable increase in workplace harassment cases.
