Sixteen Vietnamese men were moved out of Port Alberni this weekend after they were discovered living in deplorable conditions.
The men said they paid $30,000 to come to Canada to work at the SAN Group’s remanufacturing mill on Stamp Avenue, and were promised accomodations and $30 an hour.
Once they got here they say they were paid $18 an hour with no overtime pay, and were crammed into a trailer with two dozen other men with no running water, and had to pay $350 a month rent for a single bedroll in a shared bedroom.
