Settlement: Landmark Settlement and Rcmp Employees

settlement: What were her colleagues saying Did she ever experience the kind of treatment that will net at least 1,000 current and former RCMP employees a share of the $100-million settlement Or does she count herself lucky This settlement — announced last Thursday — is also for her, according to Metro News. Both symbolically and, one hopes, in terms of real change with the organization, it is for any woman who would want to join the RCMP in the future, and every one of them who ever joined. It was Thursday, and I wondered what it was like for her to walk into that office the morning of a historic, landmark settlement over harassment, abuse, rape and discrimination of women within the Mounties' ranks. And it raises many other questions: Why did it take so long The two class-action lawsuits against the RCMP that led to the settlement were first filed in 2011. Paulson became choked up as he announced the settlement. In 2013, Bob Paulson, the RCMP commissioner, announced a Gender and Respect action plan, after which more women continued to join those lawsuits. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
