(THE CANADIAN PRESS/Justin Tang)</figcaption></figure></div><p>Saint Mary's University senior researcher Rachel Zellars authored the peer-reviewed report. Zellars, a lawyer, frequently undertakes research and training for the federal government.</p><p>"As a researcher who has conducted over a thousand interviews with public servants since 2019, these interviews are collectively the most distressing that I have witnessed and recorded," Zellars says in the report.</p><p>The study interviewed more than 100 current and former Black public servants who occupied senior or executive roles in Canada's public service.</p><h2>Threats of violence</h2><p>The report lays out allegations made by Black executives — whose names, positions and departments were withheld from the report. Executives spoke about how they were threatened with physical violence during their careers.</p><p>"One former executive shared how a white colleague raised a chair at him and threatened to 'beat the N-word out of him' during a meeting with other participants," the report details. "Strikingly, no one in the meeting room intervened on his behalf."</p><p>In another episode cited in the report, a public servant said a colleague "in anger ... threw something at her."</p><p>The report says 62 per cent of respondents reported instances of workplace harassment or intimidation, or threats of reputational harm made by supervisors or senior leaders.</p><p>"One Black male executive, with a high level of specialization, described his work environment as a 'cesspool of racism,'" says the report, adding the executive reported often having to tell people he obtained his position through "merit" and not because of his race.</p><p>In their email, Hannaford and the other civil service chiefs vowed to take action.</p><p>"We are committed to ensuring that we address these issues and will personally review the report and recommendations to make sure that we implement actions that bring lasting change," they wrote.</p><p>The Treasury Board Secretariat, the human resources arm of the federal public service, issued a statement Friday that did not go as far as Hannaford's email in acknowledging what the report uncovered.</p><p>The statement said a preliminary response plan has been developed and Hannaford will be meeting with Zellars, executives and the deputy ministers that lead core government departments next week. </p><p>The report says many Black executives reported career stagnation — spending years in acting positions or training subordinates who eventually are promoted above them.</p><p>"I was called for 911 situations, but only ever allowed to act," the report quotes one female respondent as saying. "I never once got the positions I acted in."</p><p>Forty-two per cent of English speaking Black public servants reported struggles in securing the language training they need to advance in their careers.</p><p>One Black female executive told the author of the report that her "Quebecois director" suggested she not learn French at the expense of the department.</p><p>"She stated that she learned 'English on her own by reading in English and sleeping with Anglophone men,'" reads one line of the report.</p><h2>Class-action alleges decades of discrimination</h2><p>The report is landing as many Black public servants are seeking the Federal Court's clearance to sue the federal government.</p><p>A proposed class-action lawsuit — launched in 2020 — alleges Black public servants have endured decades of systemic racism and discrimination. The lawsuit alleges that since the 1970s, roughly 30,000 Black employees have lost out on opportunities and benefits afforded to others because of their race.</p><p dir="ltr">It seeks $2.5 billion in compensation for economic hardship and a mental health plan for employees' pain and trauma. Plaintiffs also want a plan to diversify the federal labour pool.</p><p dir="ltr">The case is currently before a Federal Court judge in Toronto, who is expected to rule on whether to certify the class-action. </p><div><em><strong>WATCH | Black-class action plaintiff says the report brought him to tears</strong></em> <span><span class="mediaEmbed"><div class="player-placeholder-ui-container "

zero tolerance policy on anti-Black racism, mandatory training, coaching for Black public servants and the establishment of a "Black Equity Commissioner" with a watchdog role within government.</p><p>The report also calls for greater accountability for senior leaders who "failed to acknowledge and challenge managers' antiblack treatment towards Black executives."</p><p>This is not the first report from Zellars about workplace racism and harassment in the federal public service.</p><p>A report she drafted that was released in July concluded that Black, Indigenous and racialized employees in the Privy Council Office are regularly subjected to a culture of "racial stereotyping, microaggression and verbal violence."</p><p>The Privy Council Office's 1,200 employees make up the lead branch of the civil service, providing support for the prime minister and cabinet in executing policy directives across the federal government.</p><p>That July report said Black employees reported managers using the N-word "comfortably in their presence" and later expressing surprise after being told it's a term of contempt for Black people.</p></div></div><div
