Former employees still wait
for Wesiern Aluminum wages

Former employees of Western
Aluminum Craft are still waiting
for payment of wages and holiday
pay almost three years after the
company’s assets were seized in
July 1989.

Ed Wall, public affairs director
with the Employment Standards
branch of the Ministry of Labour
said the branch “is trying to
estimate the assets that can be
seized, or whether there are any.”

A former foreman with the com-
pany told The Review that he is
still owed about $2,800 for three
weeks wages and holiday pay.
About 45 other employees are
wed similar amounts.

Wall said “the court decided
that Revenue Canada had stronger
priority than either our branch or
the Workers’ Compensation
Board.”

Regarding claims made by
employees, the branch is “looking
into them but wouldn’t like to
comment. It’s not our job to cast
shadows on anyone at this point.”

A meeting

s held in Sidney

JESUS CHRIST, played by Daniel. Lapp in the Victoria Operatic

March 24 between the case officer
and the employees, “to go over the
details of the case,” Wall con-
firmed.

The branch is there to adminis-
ter and enforce the Employment
Standards Act and to administer
restitution where it has been
breached, he said.

Former employees are bitter that
Revenue Canada received money
from seized assets.

The company: was founded in
1986 and completed several pro-
jects include a Mississippi-river
style boat for a Yukon company; It
was working on a commercial
fishboat for B.C. Packers when the
company was shut down.

Some employees formed a part-
nership and completed the boat in
a Henry Avenue yard.

Former owners of the company,
Russell Crawford and John Stan-
ners, are believed to be working in
the Greater Victoria area. Craw-
ford was discharged from bank-
Tuptcy last year.
