B.C. tree planters treated like ‘virtual slaves’ win judgement

More than two dozen tree planters who endured harsh conditions in the B.C. backcountry have won a major victory against their former employer.

The B.C. Employment Standards Branch has ordered Khaira Enterprises to pay the workers more than $225,000 in unpaid wages.

A provincial investigation began in late July when the workers were removed from a Khaira Enterprises work camp, 40 kilometres west of Golden in southeastern B.C., after forestry ministry staff discovered what the labour minister described as “substandard conditions.”

The workers, most of them landed immigrants from Burundi and the Republic of Congo, complained they had little food, no sanitation, unheated containers for shelter and were paid with bounced cheques, while working at various sites around the province.

Treating people this way is downright despicable. G&M should publicize the name and address of this business/slave owner.
