UNHAPPY WORKERS Jan Noster of the B.C. Carpenters' Union says the federal government is doing nothing to help workers recover unpaid wages from a construction project on Crown land in Burnaby.
The B.C. Carpenters Union is waging war against the federal government to recover thousands of dollars owed to local construction workers from a building project on Crown land in Burnaby.
Jan Noster, spokesman for the B.C. Carpenters Union local 1995, said the Abbotsford-based Investment Builders Ltd. was hired in October 2002 to work on the new $6.5-million Nokia building, currently under construction at the Glenlyon business park in south Burnaby.
The project is being managed by the Canada Lands Corporation, Noster said, a federal Crown corporation that purchases, develops and sells property on behalf of the government.
But Noster alleges that Investment Builders stiffed 14 workers for a week's worth of wages amounting to roughly $14,000.------------------------------------------- posted 9:18 PM :: reference link ::
