More allegations of racism linked to Manitoba Hydro site dubbed ‘Keeyask-atraz’
WINNIPEG — A report into working conditions at a Manitoba Hydro site details allegations of racism, sexual harassment and prison-like living conditions.
“I feel alone and segregated, and too scared to ask for help,” one participant said in the report called Keeyask Workplace Culture Assessment: A Review of Discrimination and Harassment.
About 180 workers at the Crown utility shared their experiences working at the Keeyask Generation Project near Gillam in 2016 for the report done by an independent firm.
Over four weeks, the firm interviewed people and conducted an online survey to get a sense of the conditions.
