A Winnipeg woman is suing the construction company she used to work for, alleging she was fired in retaliation for reporting that she was sexually assaulted by a co-worker.
The woman, a former employee of Winnipeg-based Hugh Munro Construction Ltd., says she was wrongfully terminated in February 2018. She reported the assault in October 2017.
In a statement of claim filed to Manitoba's Court of Queen's Bench on Feb. 27 of this year, she alleges the assault happened while she and several other employees were posted to a remote work site in northern Manitoba and living in shared accommodations.
