Workplace investigation finds fault with Manitoba Inuit Association as members ask premier to intervene – Global News
December 2, 2024
Two Workplace Safety and Health investigations into allegations of harassment, intimidation and abuse of staff at the Manitoba Inuit Association have found fault with the organization, Global News has learned.
The Inuit Association is appealing both findings.
A letter to one of the complainants, former employee Matthew Usenko, from Workplace Safety and Health states the Inuit association violated Section 42 of the Workplace Safety and Health Act by firing Usenko in the summer of 2024 shortly after he raised concerns of violence and intimidation in the organization. The report said during the investigation “the communication from management is misleading, with inconsistent statements and a lack of clarity leading to confusion.”
It goes on to read “it is a fact that (the complainant) was subjected to harassment…”
