B.C. lawsuit seeks damages after women secretly recorded in a work bathroom
VANCOUVER — The former operator of a wedding decor supply business in British Columbia is facing more legal action following his conviction for secretly recording two workers while they used the employee washroom.
Andy Anthony Raddysh is named in two civil lawsuits filed by the Workers Compensation Board of B.C., the body that investigates workplace injuries or illnesses and provides medical or rehabilitation services for injured employees.
The board filed the nearly identical lawsuits on behalf of two women who worked for the Vancouver-area wedding design studio, until March 2016 when they were informed by the RCMP of video recordings taken in the company’s bathroom.
Two statements of claim say police determined the videos were taken between January 2011 and November 2014, beginning when one of the women was hired for seasonal work at the age of 14, joining the other woman who was in her ’20s and had worked for Raddysh since 2008.
