Former staff says racism and sexual harassment are rampant at the Royal Canadian Mint
According to several former employees interviewed by CBC News, female security guards at the Royal Canadian Mint in Ottawa often face sexual harassment and racial ridicule, and their superiors either stand by or join in.
The former staff said that the white protection service staff used the N word for black colleagues, calling them slaves and comparing a woman to a chimpanzee, while another former female employee said she was often sexually harassed.
They say that sexism, harassment and racism drive them to quit their jobs and give up their dreams of entering law enforcement.
