Dexterra Group Inc
SHAREHOLDERS BEWARE
DXT.TO — Dexterra’s CEO Mark Becker Covered Up Retaliation, Broke the Law, and Still Wants to Be Paid
Mark Becker, CEO of Dexterra Group Inc. (TSX: DXT), made over $1.54 million last year. And this is what you, the shareholders, are funding:
A man who allowed a worker to be fired for reporting safety concerns.
A man who helped cover up a quasi-criminal offence.
A man who now wants to collect $3,046.40 from the very person his company retaliated against.
That person is me.
Let me walk you through what actually happened — and how Becker, along with Dexterra’s board and executive team, knowingly buried the truth — or tried to. All they’re burying now is themselves.
In December 2020, I emailed Mark Becker directly. I had been fired in September for raising serious bullying and harassment concerns. I warned that failing to investigate such complaints violates the Workers Compensation Act. I wrote that it was a sad world we live in where something has to end in tragedy before anyone cares to listen.
Nothing came of it. They dumped it on some HR drone who came back to me with, “your complaint was not substantiated” — but couldn’t explain how they reached that conclusion when no one ever talked to me. How exactly do you investigate a complaint without speaking to the person who made it?
Two years later, WorkSafeBC confirmed that Dexterra did violate the Act — citing them on December 15, 2022 for failing to investigate bullying complaints. That confirmed the original safety violation I reported to the board of directors.
But that's not all.
In March 2021, Dexterra’s lawyer drafter the company’s “Employer’s Particulars.” That document — drafted by one of the most senior labour lawyers in BC — openly admits that I was fired for threatening a WorkSafeBC complaint and reporting bullying. That’s what’s known in law as a prohibited action, also illegal under the Workers Compensation Act. That admission proves what they’ve been hiding all along: I was terminated in retaliation for reporting safety issues.
But rather than correct this, Dexterra went a step further.
I wonder how much they paid the union to sign a fraudulent settlement — one that falsely claimed Dexterra had just cause to terminate me. I never agreed to it. I never signed it. And here’s the kicker: that supposed “cause”? Dexterra’s own legal team openly admitted in the employer’s particulars that I was illegally terminated. How the fuck does that work?
They didn’t even bother hiding it.
They admitted it.
And the union went along with it anyway.
After that, I emailed Becker, citing their own Code of Conduct and spelling out exactly what had happened — how I was retaliated against, and what was written in the employer's own submissions. They did nothing. They all knew.
And over the following year? I made TikTok videos exposing the retaliation. I showed the facts. I spoke the truth. Every one of these executives saw it. Every one of these directors stayed silent.
And now? After suppressing the evidence, manipulating legal privilege, and dodging accountability — they want me to pay them $3,046.40 in costs in covering it up. More coming soon as they are trying to kill me because that’s the only way i’ll stop talking.
Let me be clear:
The safety violation was confirmed in 2022.
The prohibited action was never adjudicated, because Dexterra’s legal team abused privilege to hide the key documents.
Their in-house counsel, Christos Gazeas, knows damn well this was illegal retaliation.
The courts may never see the full truth — but this is the court of public opinion, and in that court, Mark Becker is garbage.
And don’t let him pretend this was the work of “low-level managers.” One of the executives Jeff Litchfield, President of Remote and Hospitality Services, was directly involved in the retaliation. This was systemic. It went all the way to the top.
Here’s exactly what was written in the employer’s own particulars, filed by a top-tier labour law firm:
The company relies on the following non-exhaustive list of Ms Pereira’s conduct,
“Ms. Pereira sent an email to several Company and Union officials, accusing employees of engaging in ‘workplace mobbing’ against her and threatened a WorkSafe complaint if her complaint was not investigated.”
“Ms. Pereira sent an email to Jana Lewis accusing LM of ‘doing everything she can to sabotage my career at Crossroads by slandering my professional reputation with lies, exaggerations and innuendos’ and characterized LM’s behaviour as ‘malicious.’”
“Ms. Pereira sent an email to Jeff Litchfield at the Company in which she accused Andrew Desilets of ‘saying lies about me’ when engaging with her over her workplace concerns.”
“Ms. Pereira emailed the Company and repeated her allegations that she was being ‘mobbed’ by her co-workers and ‘retaliated against’ by the Company.”
These statements prove beyond any doubt that I was fired for reporting health and safety concerns — a prohibited action under the Workers Compensation Act of BC.
So who else is complicit? Let’s name them.
Dexterra Group Executive Team:
Mark Becker, CEO — architect of the cover-up.
Denise Achonu, CFO — signs the cheques, funds the fraud.
Cindy McArthur, CHRO — complicit in silence.
Sanjay Gomes, President, Facilities Management.
Jeff Litchfield, President, Remote and Hospitality — directly involved.
Christos Gazeas, EVP Legal, General Counsel — knew about the abuse of privilege.
JD MacCuish, EVP Strategy & Corporate Planning.
Lee-Anne Lyon-Bartley – Pretend Safety Executive
Dexterra’s Board of Directors:
R. William McFarland, Chair of the Board
Mary Garden
Kevin D. Nabholz
David Johnston
Simon Landy
Russell A. Newmark
Tabatha Bull
Toni Rossi
Every single one of these people know. I sent the emails. I made the videos. They saw the proof. And instead of apologizing for illegally firing a worker and lying to regulators, they circled the wagons and are sending me the bill.
All of this, while Dexterra’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics says:
The Corporation and its Applicable Persons shall not retaliate against any Applicable Person who reports, in good faith, an Alleged Wrongdoing or a retaliatory act or who assists in the investigation of the Alleged Wrongdoing.(Section 40)
I reported wrongdoing in good faith. It was proven to be true. And instead of correcting course, Mark Becker and his board violated their own ethics, the WCA, and the basic decency expected of any employer.
Mark Becker is not a leader. He is a liability.
He has disgraced your brand, damaged your safety record, and exposed your company to reputational risk. And the board? They’re just as complicit for standing by and letting it happen.
To every shareholder of Dexterra Group Inc. $DXT — ask yourself:
Are these the people you want representing your investment?
Because I know damn well the answer.
And if you're wondering whether I tried going through the so-called “proper channels” — I did. I tried reporting this through Dexterra’s official whistleblower process, as laid out on their website. It’s administered by Odyssey Trust, supposedly an independent third party.
Except it’s not.
My complaint — about workplace retaliation and legal misconduct by Dexterra and their shady-ass lawyer — was sent right back to Dexterra.
I later received a letter from Dexterra’s own in-house counsel — delivered through their shady-ass lawyer — confirming that they themselves had received the complaint I submitted through Odyssey.
Think about that:
You follow the company’s official whistleblower policy.
You report serious misconduct.
And it gets forwarded directly to the people you’re reporting — the same executives involved in the wrongdoing.
There is no independent oversight. No confidentiality. No protection. Just another closed loop designed to suppress the truth and protect the CEO.
So no, shareholders. You can’t even trust the company’s internal reporting mechanisms. This isn’t just a leadership failure — it’s structural corruption.
ON A SIDE NOTE,
They don’t even do criminal record checks. Look it up: Margaret Klonarakis, Kitimat BC, — charged with fraud and theft, pled guilty to stealing over $100,000 from her former employer.
This is the same employee that Dexterra secretly funded civil litigation for when I personally sued her for defamation — because they didn’t want the truth to come out.
Unbelievable that the CEO of a publicly traded company would use company funds to defend a criminal in a lawsuit they weren’t even a party to.
And the lying doesn’t stop there.
Brad Rickard, now Vice President of HR Operations — the same guy who oversaw the internal mess — has lied in a sworn affidavits. That’s perjury. And what did Dexterra do? They promoted him. They rewarded the cover-up.
And Dean Crawford, Dexterra’s lawyer, has filed court documents containing false statements — knowingly, and with the intent to mislead.
This isn’t sloppy lawyering. It’s deliberate.
They lie to courts. They lie to regulators. They lie to their own shareholders.
And somehow, they think there won’t be consequences.
And trust me — this isn’t over.
My next article will expose Dexterra’s attempted fraud involving the Christian Labour Association of Canada (CLAC) — where a secret, pre-arranged collective agreement was already in place, and employees were being quietly pushed to sign union cards without being told the full story. I’ll be posting the emails I discovered.
Same playbook. Different union.
Same corrupt company.
And think about this long and hard:
Dexterra has never once sent me a cease and desist.
Not once have they told me to stop making “defamatory” accusations.
What does that tell you?
You can’t sue someone for telling the truth.
And here’s the part that should keep every shareholder awake at night:
I’m just one employee out of thousands.
Imagine what else they’re doing — that they haven’t been exposed for yet.
