More women alleging harassment want to join lawsuit against RCMP - British Columbia - CBC News

Nearly 400 female RCMP officers and civilian employees from across Canada are asking a B.C judge to certify a class action lawsuit filed by Cpl. Janet Merlo over sexual harassment and gender discrimination at a hearing Monday.

"My name is on there, but there's 400 ladies standing behind … from nine provinces and all the territories" said Merlo, who is so far the only named plaintiff in a case that has been making its way through the courts for three years.

"It speaks to a problem that's systemic and that's nationwide" Merlo said.

​She filed the lawsuit after a CBC News investigation into sexual harassment of female Mounties, including former spokesperson Cpl. Catherine Galliford, prompted dozens more to speak publicly.

My opinion is to wait until the court proceedings to determine if there is validity to the claims.........
