A 1991 complaint against Mobil Oil Canada results in a large $650,000 pay day for an Alberta woman:

A 19-year human-rights battle — the longest in the history of the Alberta Human Rights Commission — has reached a decision.

Delorie Walsh was awarded more than $650,000 in her complaint against Mobil Oil Canada, a complaint first filed in 1991 on the basis of gender discrimination.

Walsh was awarded the money in a decision rendered on Thursday, mostly for loss of income and loss of pension benefits.

Walsh was the first female landsman for the company, but was paid less than her male counterparts doing the same job. She was later fired in 1995.

Yet, strangely, the tribunal “found no one at fault” for the two decades between filing the complaint and the awarding of damages.
