Q8.Case study: Maria

This case study is based onMaria Vanderputten v. Seydaco Packaging Corp. and GerrySanvido(No. 2, 3 and 4).

In presenting the case to the Tribunal, the applicant's lawyers raised these issues:

  1. She was harassed in the workplace and subjected to a poisonedwork environment
  2. She was dismissed from her job because of her gender identity.

When Maria began working for the packaging company in 2003, her first name was Tony. She was hired as a general labourer on August 24, 2003. In 2008, she was accepted in the gender identity clinic and began transition from living as a man to living as a woman. She started the process of sex reassignment and developed female breasts as a result of hormone treatments. Maria says that she was harassed, subjected to a poisoned work environment and dismissed - all violations of theHuman Rights Code.

Maria said that Gerry, a lead hand and machine operator, played a central role inthe harassment and the incident that led to her dismissal. The packing company said the allegations never happened. The company argued that it treated the applicant appropriately, considering her a man and treating her like other men until it received medical or legal documentation that she was a woman. They say they fired her because of her attitude and being involved in workplace conflicts that were her fault, as well as insubordination.
