A forest company is suing the City of Port Alberni after a “clandestine” overnight search of its manufacturing plant last month, which the company said has harmed its reputation.
It says the search happened “without prior judicial authorization” and without notice or permission of the company. The search was conducted with advance knowledge of the city, the mayor and the chief administrative officer, it says. The company’s goal is to see its name cleared, Bob Bortolin, vice-president of business development, said Thursday from Vancouver.
He said 16 workers from Vietnam were employed by San Group, but their contract did not include company-provided accommodation. Due to the tight housing market, however, San Group ended up providing a five-bedroom trailer with room for 10 workers in a location about 15 kilometres outside the city.
