VANCOUVER – Former RCMP Const. Janet Merlo filed a proposed class-action lawsuit in B.C. Supreme Court on Tuesday on behalf of more than 150 women who are claiming rampant gender discrimination and sexual harassment within the force.

Merlo, a former officer in B.C. who describes the sexist comments, sexual pranks, derogatory remarks and double standards she endured during her 20 years on the force in her claim, is the representative plaintiff in the suit.
