Show Notes
Wanda Kagan, a Black woman with 36 years of service at a Montreal health authority, filed a human rights complaint in 2022, alleging systemic racism hindered her promotions and fair pay. Despite her seniority, she claims white colleagues advanced while she remained stagnant. After a clerical error was blamed for her lack of promotions, she received back pay for only the past two years in 2023. Kagan, a friend of former U.S. Vice-President Kamala Harris, now advocates for better handling of systemic racism claims in Quebec workplaces. Experts note the heavy burden of proof in these cases and urge workers to document everything early.
