Carla Dennis is a first-class Welder Fabricator with MLM Fabrication & Construction Ltd., Women in any skilled craft job are a rarity in the largely men's world of construction and fabrication. MLM records show that between 2014 to 2020 less than 10% of fabrication workers were female, and no woman had ever held a supervisory or executive position at the company. Starting out as a third-class welder in 2010, Carla had steadily increased her skill so that she was the equal of any male welder fabricator. Still, she never quite fit in at MLM, as women were seen and treated as sex objects; she could not be accepted as a good welder. None of Dennis' co-workers or supervisors had offered her any benefit for her sexual favours or threatened to retaliate if she refused. She was occasionally ridiculed, as when one co-worker passed around a picture of a nude woman with braids and a whip. Because she has braids and uses a welding tool known as a whip, she thought that the picture was being displayed to humiliate her. However, it was not these incidents that infuriated her; it was the presence of calendars, magazines, pictures, graffiti, and other visual displays of nude women that she found intolerable. Pictures of nude women from magazines or other sources were displayed with the full knowledge of management, from the president of MLM down. Although crude sexual jokes were sometimes told in her presence, she was often warned sarcastically to "take cover" or leave so that the men could exchange jokes out of her hearing. After complaining to management about the visual displays, the pictures became more numerous and more graphic and the number of sexually suggestive comments to her and the other women increased. One supervisor suggested that Dennis is too thin skinned and needs to focus on her job, and let boys be boys. On January 6, 2020, a news story broke about working conditions at MLM Fabrication & Construction, and the Ministry of Labour also received an anonymous complaint regarding MLM. The story and complaint cited the pervasive harassment of female staff, presence of sexually explicit pictures, and the sexually suggestive comments, and humiliating conditions under which female workers must work. 1.
