When male workers would approach women at the fly-in fly-out camp, in their portable bedroom after dark.The directive on female dress code was was delivered after two male workers on the QCG project were dismissed for sexual harassment
"I didn't know how they knew where my room was," said Liz Jelley, a former FIFO worker employed in the construction of the Queensland Curtis LNG gas pipeline in 2013."You feel like … that's your place where you can lock yourself in and be safe.Ms Jelley was employed by McConnell Dowell, which was contracted to build the pipeline as part of a joint venture known as MCJV, for the Queensland Gas Company .
The ABC has independently obtained a recording from the briefing, in which women were told they could prevent sexual harassment if they dressed less "provocatively". "Because that's their career affected; and reappointment is very difficult when you've got a sexual harassment dismissal," the representative says.
CharEKing Great job CharEKing
Sounds like they are asking to be sued
These poor woman aren't harassed by men, they're harassed by wimps. Men call out wimps on this disgraceful behavior so women can feel safe. More men need to call out these wimps to change the culture. Employers & managers also need to be stricter, it is against the law after all.
'The problem' is in the minds of the men, so problem should be addressed there. Women can dress how they want (unless directly related to the job, safety). Have we not evolved? Let me guess, the senior managers here were men?
Women will be women and for all that’s good in the world and kind on the eyes. They should dress how they want to. Us guys better watch out get with the program.
FIFO? Sounds like a 'road trip' in reverse. The casual acquaintances come to you. Party!
Companies have a dress code,follow it
EnoughIsEnough control yourselves men!
men should control their libido instead
How about if you don’t want to be dismissed for sexual harassment, don’t sexually harass people!! Not a very hard concept 😊 If you don’t have that kind of self control, go to therapy. I promise that you’re the problem. Not the clothes of the person you’re sexually harassing.
No-one asks for it. No-one asks to be harassed or assaulted. The blame lies entirely with the harassers and assaulters and their enablers.
Sounds like Islam needs to spread over the tradies.
the men need to have better education behind them
Less provocatively? So what are our gals working in? Tight shorts and loose tops? There's a PPE protocol to follow for everyone in heavy industry which are of a conventional attire (no great deal). Surely that's not considered provocative? Old school 'overalls' maybe? No
It was good the 2 men were sacked for sexual harrassment, but you would rather it didn't happen at all. But what's the answer? Every company would prefer not to hire men like this. I get we have to keep trying to weed these grubs out but I have no idea how.
Let me guess, the company management and workforce is predominately made up of people of Middle Eastern origin. If not most, people in key areas.
