Human Rights Tribunal fines farm $23,500 for calling migrant workers ‘monkeys’
http://www.thestar.com/news/immigra...3500_for_calling_migrant_workers_monkeys.html
Panel awards damages to a man from St. Lucia who was fired and sent home for complaining about racial taunts.
An Ontario farm has been found guilty of referring to employees as “monkeys” and firing a St. Lucian migrant worker who stood up against the name-calling.
Double Diamond Acres Ltd., a tomato farm in Kingsville, has been ordered by the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario to compensate complainant Adrian Monrose a total of $23,500 in damages for owed wages, reprisal and loss of dignity.
“I find that a factor in the decision to terminate the applicant’s employment was that he complained about the monkey comment,” adjudicator David Muir wrote in a decision released last week.
“I also find that the conclusion that the applicant was prone to violence was baseless and that his termination was more likely in response to his having raised concerns about being referred to as a monkey.”
Monrose, 38, first arrived at Double Diamond in 2008 through the federal government’s seasonal agricultural worker program and was recalled the following year to work at the same farm.
Monrose claimed he and his co-workers were referred to by both farm owner Benji Mastronardi, and his supervisor, Jeffery Carreiro, as monkeys on May 20 and 21, 2009.
Monrose alleged that Mastronardi shouted at them, “You’re like monkeys on a branch” and in a separate incident, Carreiro said, “That’s why Benji calls you guys monkeys.”
Monrose said he later complained to Mastronardi about the racial taunts, which he claimed led to his dismissal on June 8. He was repatriated to St. Lucia the next day, 12 weeks before his contract was supposed to end.

It might be that Italians have such high self-esteem that mingling let alone procreating with other ethnic groups would water down their superiority?
