MONTREAL — A waitress who was harassed after refusing sexual advances from the owner of a Montreal restaurant has been awarded $52,000 by a Quebec labour relations tribunal. Berrad testified that he did the same to her, and when she confronted him about his behaviour, he told her it was normal. When she once asked him what would happen to a waitress who refused his advances, he told her he would harass the worker until she quit, the decision says. According to the decision, she asked Triandos to stop yelling at her, but his attitude only worsened and he told staff to stop talking to her. An argument broke out, and Berrad called police after Triandos became aggressive, declaring, “It’s my restaurant.”When the officers arrived, Triandos told them that Berrad had struck him.
