One of the province’s largest public sector unions has launched a $24 million lawsuit against three former senior employees and at least 15 individuals or businesses it alleges they had undeclared ties to, accusing them of a scheme including payments for bogus or unfinished work as well as kickbacks.
The statement of claim, which has not been proven in court, was filed Thursday by the Ontario Public Service Employees’ Union and comes amid its ongoing financial forensic audit and just two months after it filed a $6 million-plus case in Ontario’s Superior Court, also alleging financial irregularities.
