Company fired, workers unpaid - By Kelly Sinoski, Vancouver Sun, Canada
Eighty foreign workers on the $800-million Golden Ears Bridge project were off the job Wednesday after not being paid for the past two weeks.
The Construction Specialized Workers' Union said subcontractor Baulex Projects, which hired the workers, told them Tuesday it couldn't pay them because its bank accounts had been frozen by Revenue Canada when it failed to remit its taxes.
But a representative of the joint venture building the bridge said Baulex had been fired from the job on Monday because of substandard work.
"They weren't performing so the contract was terminated this week," said Ian McLeod, of the Golden Crossing Group, which speaks for the joint venture.------------------------------------------- posted 6:22 AM :: reference link ::

Two apparel factories in Brooklyn are being accused of forcing three employees to work 100 to 140 hours a week -- and illegally failing to pay them overtime. The three workers are expected to file a lawsuit today that claims the employers demanded that two of the plaintiffs do a full day's work without pay and fired them when they refused.
