    Kate began working with an art dealer in 2005, but was sexually harassed by her previous gallery manager in 2004. She filed a complaint with the human rights commission and the manager was charged and imprisoned. In 2014, Kate became pregnant with her second child but continued painting for 7 hours a day. However, her dealer did not renew their contract, claiming her pregnancy would reduce her work, which violated anti-discrimination laws. Through grievance procedures and negotiation, both parties reached a compromise that allowed Kate to continue selling her art through the dealer.

    Kate Upton

    Kate began working with Michael Reid in 2005. Kate previously was
    working at Savill Galleries (Savill Galleries, 2015) however in 2004
    was sexually harassed by the manger of the art gallery. Sexual
    harassment is unlawful because of the Anti-Discrimination Act 1997
    (NSW) and theSex Discrimination Act 1984 (Cwlth) (Chapman &
    Malcolm, 2013), these acts cover a wide range of unwanted sexual
    behaviour that makes the victim feel offended or humiliated. Kate
    contacted the Australian Human Rights commission for advice with
    what to do and issued a complaint. The police were called and after
    further investigation the manager was charged with Sexual Assault
    and 10 years in prison (Armstrong legal, n.d.).
    In February, at the start of 2014 Kate fell pregnant to her husband
    Jarrod. With her second child on the way Kate continued to paint for
    her dealer, 7 hours a day 5 days a week. Having baby didnt restrict
    Kates speed and quality of producing paintings and she was still
    able to deliver a constant flow of paintings to her dealer. Kate faced
    a challenge when half way through the year her 6-month contact
    with Michael Reid didnt renew. Michael Reid emailed Kate saying
    their contact would not be renewed because as the pregnancy
    develops more, Kate wont be able to provide a steady flow of work
    to her areas of the gallery.
    Kate was outraged by this and knew she was being discriminated
    against. This action of discrimination is in fact violation of the Fair
    Work Act 2009 (Cth) and the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (CwlTH)
    (Chapman & Malcolm, 2013). Kate didnt want to spend time
    reporting the issue, or money paying for a lawyer. Instead Kate went
    through a Grievance procedure with the business and formally
    recognised her issue with the discrimination that took place. After a
    meeting with her dealer and having a negotiation (a method of
    resolving disputes where the parties involved discuss the issues in
    an attempt to reach a compromise) both parties came to a fair
    conclusion and Kates was still able to sell her art through Michael
    Reid.
