"A landmark inquiry into Australia’s mining sector has uncovered dozens of
shocking cases of sexual harassment and abuse of women workers at companies
including BHP Group and Rio Tinto Group.
The Western Australia government report released Thursday described “horrific”
incidents at the workplaces, which it labeled both a failure of the industry
and an oversight by government. Among recommendations were the payment of
compensation to the many workers who became victims of bosses and colleagues on
remote projects."
Via Cass M, who wrote "Worksite sexual harassment is inevitable if there
aren’t, at least anti-harassment and work place violence policies in place
required by legislation. Along with repercussions for business leadership.
Employers must be willing to state the reason for an employee being dismissed
during reference calls.
Here (Alberta), a lot of people go through safety training to be more
attractive to employers. Part of that is modelling appropriate work behaviour.
It sounds to me like people who shouldn’t be in charge, are."
