A Brampton trucking company is under investigation by the federal government after a group of former long-haul drivers claimed it’s withholding at least $115,000 in unpaid wages from them.

The federal Labour Program confirmed to CTV News Toronto Friday that it's investigating Brampton-based Sondh Freight Systems Inc. after receiving complaints made under Part III of the Canada Labour Code, which covers standard hours, wages, vacations, and holidays.

At the time of publication, Aujla said four legally binding Orders to Pay have been issued to Sondh as a result of the claims she and Dussie have filed, totalling just over $28,000 – but the workers have yet to see any money back in their pockets and the company is seemingly still operating, they said.

Meanwhile, the workers affected – some of whom have now waited nearly a year since filing their complaint – continue to bear the brunt of the consequences of Sondh's alleged actions.Vrushank Gheewala, one of the former workers, told CTV News Toronto in an interview over the phone from his Windsor, Ont., home that his time working for Sondh pushed him to the financial brink – so much so, he was forced to send his family back home to India.

Gheewala now works elsewhere and has built back some stability, but he still hasn’t been paid what he’s owed. Walia was hired at Sondh in 2019, he said. When COVID-19 hit, Walia said his payments started to become more and more delayed.

So the government just funds these immigrants to employ only immigrants. No wonder they're running a scam. A true Canadian would simply get the next load and then hold it hostage until properly compensated. Fair game

Nothing new here. Keep scrolling.

They probably have been working for cash, dodging taxes...

Yes.owe me too

SCAMMERS scamming SCAMMERS 🤡 what could go wrong?

Keep the truck.

Nothing new!

“ … after a group of former long-haul drivers claimed it’s withholding at least $115,000 in unpaid wages from them … composed entirely of IMMIGRANTS TO CANADA …” Colour me shocked that the recent arrivals are once again abusing their own.

Where’s NDP Jagmeet Singh tweet about this company’s record profits.

Loads of punjabi guys are exploited by trucking companies. Holding wages is just the start of it.

Like to see the MTO record on the company if not paying its drivers. Its sending them out most likely in semis with defective parts or mechanical problems. Trucking company wants profits at expense of its drivers and semi fleet

Now that’s a shocker, pretty sure Patrick will one up with it for you, cause we know how the money in Brampton gets transported.

Oh Dang. The comments are going to be ruthless

These fuckers putting canadians out of work.

9/10 truck drivers wear a curtain on their head. I know the deal. Import immigrants with job security, pay for driving school in exchange for cheap labour. Seen this before.

Don’t haul cheap freight

centennial college professor jared purdy is a hacker,please be careful to choice his classes, he will stole someone information thorough personal email. When he teach us he also introduced he also work in the HP® Canada at IT department.

Brampton and truckers go together like flip flops and turbins

80 % of the time Brampton always seems to be in the news for all the wrong reasons so much fraudulent and deceptive behaviour.

Every punjabi uncle right now

Classic Brampdump

Deport owners or company and all employees current and former, let them settle this dispute back home.

No wonder they can haul for next to nothing, They are not paying their drivers, O/Os

Funny how you guys won’t name the owner of the company. Are you afraid to upset some people by doing so? This is something that people in this industry need to know the name of.

Proud punjabis. Shame on you!!

Nothing new for them in Brampton.

Ontario trucking company under investigation after workers say $115K in wages withheldA Brampton trucking company is under investigation by the federal government after a group of former long-haul drivers claimed it’s withholding at least $115,000 in unpaid wages from them. Brampton is high maintenance. Someone should tell them this has been done before and it ended badly. Put all the trucks out of business. Followed by the store installing their own fleet which ended the problem entirely because the store was not following the rules. One by one the… Imagine that I can see this happening at all the trucking companies. They are all probably holding drivers wages hostage for increased profits.
