British Columbia employer SAN Group is suing the City of Port Alberni over comments made surrounding allegations against the employer, according to reports.
In some of the comments, the city’s mayor and chief administrative officer (CAO) used terms like “disgusted by workers’ treatment” and “the community won’t tolerate the mistreatment of workers”.
The comments were made in relation to claims that the forestry products company SAN Group is providing inhumane working conditions to temporary foreign workers in Port Alberni, according to a CHEK news report.
