Wage Theft Video 3 – Unpaid wages, repeat violations

May 19, 2011

Follow a group of painters as they track down a well-know repeat violator who has a history of hiring workers and not paying them. Inside the luxury condo buildings of downtown Toronto, workers all along the subcontracting chain struggle with unpaid wages and numerous violations of their rights. Cash payments, no records or documentation of hours and a very slippery employer make it even harder to track down this boss. Finally, after much hard work, they encounter the boss in an underground parking lot and put on the pressure. The workers’ talk about the difficulties of their industry, the impact of stolen wages on their families and their lives and ask why the Ministry of Labour does not penalize employers who repeatedly disregard the laws that are meant to protect us.
