Narrative 11-2
Women working in certain occupational groups at Canada Post were systematically underpaid for nearly 20 years,according to a Supreme Court of Canada ruling in 2011. Women tended to work in clerical roles,whereas men tended to work in postal operations roles (letter carriers,mail handlers,and mail sorters). The Public Service Alliance of Canada argued that the principle of equal pay for equal work wasn't being followed. Canada Post has implemented a Human Resources and Compensation Committee to ensure it complies fully with its myriad accountabilities. Unfortunately,it's not clear that Canada Post has addressed all the inequities within its organization,as another pay equity review,this time involving rural and urban carriers,has launched.
-Refer to Narrative 11-2. About 80 percent of Canada Post's postal operations workforce is male-and these are often higher-paid roles. Additionally,the postal operations workforce provides a more direct route to supervisory and managerial roles within Canada Post. What does this indicate Canada Post may have had?
A)an organizational roadblock
B)a diversity bottleneck
C)a missing key
D)a glass ceiling

The fact that women were underrepresented in higher-paid roles and had a more difficult path to supervisory and managerial positions suggests the presence of a glass ceiling within Canada Post's organizational structure.
