NRR Transportation - Canadian East Indian company

Sorry, but you knew he falsified insurance and you still drove? You are so lucky you never had a wreck. Your life would be over. Stop calling bottom feeders. Get on with a decent company, put your time in and build your experience.

 

we have next to no rights with the Canadian Labor Board. They will help you go to small claims court. Toothless!! If only the Provincial boards had jurisdiction. They get the $$$ on your behalf. Not right!

 

The federal labor board helped me get my money from Pattern Logistics in Abbotsford.

 

Erfan A. owner of NRR Transport is from Iran now at 82 Puccini Dr. Richmond hill, Ont. 647-991-5775

 

Waste of time unless you have a way to collect after you get the court order. The onus is on you to know their bank account information, and what expendable assets they have. The Canada Labour Code Board is merely an arbitration tool, and nothing more. Very toothless. I've been through it 4 times to know this.

Always get your trucking company employer to pay before you turn the key or get them to issue you collateral such as a surety bond that cannot be refunded for at least 1 year after the last day you worked. You need a bond which can be collected upon by Canada Labour Code inspectors.

 

The Federal Labour offices are very different one city to the next. Some years ago I filed grievance and Thunder Bay federal labour office would do nothing. They were totally uninterested each with their own bag of excuses as to why they do not do any work at all!
I phoned Winnipeg Canada Labour office and the person I spoke to there (John Taggart) told me he was not surprised Thunder Bay office would not move on the case. He had a few interesting euphemisms for those folks.
John Taggart came to Thunder Bay shortly after and resolved the issue at one hearing and won agreeable cash settlement for 5 of us drivers. I'm sure John is retired by now.

 

and another thing,,just in. No doubt the Manitoba insurance has noticed Mr T.Owlhead and crew are the ones piling up all the trucks. Arnold Bros failed to negotiate curve at Narrow Lake east of Kenora Monday night and did a magnificent job climbing truck and trailer up the rocks. No doubt his cousins who laid the CanPar over at Upsala and another crashed and burned (Bison) east of English River On. All 3 in the span of a summer week on a 150 mile stretch FFS!!!



Sikh truck drivers alleging racial discrimination by Manitoba Public Insurance

 

We drivers all need to stand up together and demand our government fix our broken labour system. Our Canada Labour Board doesn't even have the authority to issue fines against employers who cheat drivers out of their hard-earned pay from time they will never get back. Inspectors can't directly seize assets, or directly hire a bailiff or a skip tracer, or issue orders with a compelling reason to follow them, or chase down chameleon companies the dodgy slimy thieves setup after shuttering their fly by night company. All the order letters they send are merely a form of begging.

No longer can we rely upon an employer's verbal word that they will follow any sort of agreement. If it's not written in an agreement it's like it never happened. Come pay day they will hide as much information about what your pay rate was so they can dodge the complaints that will surely follow.

It's hard to fathom what tools drivers have to defend themselves against because legally employers are protected from being named when they are guilty. The Canada Labour board protects their privacy!

We need to fight for the right to defend against bad companies who break labour laws. Employers have a criminal background check, a drug test, a reference check, a driver's abstract and basically every tool possible to weed out drivers they don't want but drivers are left totally without the same powerful tools to defend their own interests.

This needs to be fixed!!!

1) Make our roads safer by Making pay by the mile illegal. All drivers should be paid by the hour from pre-trip to post-trip at the same rate. Pay by the mile forces drivers to drive when they should be sleeping, exercising, or otherwise taking care of themselves.
2) Make a public registry of employers who have complaints filed against them, going back at least 25 years.
3) Make it mandatory for all employees to be issued a written agreement designed to mutually amicable standards, and dual signed by the employee and employer, notarized
4) Make it mandatory for employers to prove their identity to the employee, and guard against fraudulently registered companies and fraudulent people
5) Change the bankruptcy laws so that employees can seize assets of the directors of the company, not just the company itself, and increase the wage earner protection program to $10,000
6) Hire at least 10,000 more inspectors, increase the annual inspection budget to $500M per year, and reinstate random spot inspections on all employers.
7) Establish a Federal Trucking Act that regulates the minimum pay for all professional commercial vehicle drivers.
8) Eliminate timed runs. No more remote-controlling the truck from the dispatcher or customer's office. No more fines and late fees.

 

I hope you have a heart attack or otherwise come to some unfortunate end. God you are a nightmare.
