Hundreds of Barbadians living in Canada are part of a class-action lawsuit against that country’s government, claiming CAN$2.5 billion (BDS$3.8 million) in damages for decades of injustices toward Black public servants.In a virtual interview with Barbados TODAY on Tuesday, Executive Director of Black Class Action Secretariat (BCAS) in Canada, Nicholas Marcus Thompson urged Barbados to help pressure the Canadian government into addressing a “damning” situation in which thousands of Black public servants, including Bajans, were being subjected to systemic discrimination in their workplaces.He said the thousands of claimants will be represented by 12 plaintiffs including Barbadians Monica Agard and Jennifer Phillips when the certification aspect of the case goes before the Federal Court on May 8, 2023. That process will determine if the suit meets the threshold of a class action suit and, therefore, if it goes to trial.
