Hundreds of migrant workers have won a class action lawsuit against Mac’s Convenience Stores and three B.C. immigration consultant companies after a judge found they had unlawfully charged recruitment fees for jobs that rarely materialized.
In a Thursday, May 28 ruling, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sharon Matthews found Mac’s had entered into employment contracts with the three Surrey-based consultant companies to provide temporary foreign workers for stores across B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and the Northwest Territories.
