Female engineers at BC Ferries have filed a human rights complaint over a lack of private spaces to change in and out of their work clothing on the lower decks of ferries.
The lawsuit, filed with the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal on behalf of 16 women, alleges that the lack of proper facilities contributes to a climate of harassment and bullying of women at BC Ferries.
