“What we’re seeing is that workers are facing a lot of illegal deduction from their wages; they aren’t getting access to vacation pay or overtime,” she said. “And workers have little recourse in terms of getting those wages back.”into how long-haul truckers have filed thousands of complaints over unpaid wages and other abuses. Many have not seen these cases resolved.
“It is only a fringe group of truckers, which are being highlighted through this convoy and they are being aided by other political vested interests, most of which is anti-Trudeau and anti-Liberal Party sentiment,” Gupta said. Furthermore, the trucking industry is in desperate need of diversification, Gupta said. They are trying to increase the participation of women, who he said are only three per cent of truckers in Canada, as well as veterans, Indigenous Canadians and millennials.
Attar Sodhi has been a truck driver for 12 years, with the past four spent in Canada after moving from Australia.
