A former employee is suing a Winnipeg-based wellness company that is currently facing backlash from a social media campaign, alleging Tiber River let her go because she was pregnant. Her position was terminated when Tiber River's marketing department was outsourced to another company, 6P Marketing, according to her lawsuit. The suit argues Tiber River's actions "were and continue to be harsh and reprehensible" and deserving of "punitive damages and/or aggravated damages." Tiber River Naturals co-owner Michelle Lalonde, seen here in a May 2020 file photo, is married to Manitoba Finance Minister Scott Fielding. Tiber River also said it is bringing in an organizational culture and civility expert, additional human resources capacity and an accredited leadership coach.
