Following Wednesday’s death, the Ministry of Labour issued Fiera Foods with six requirements to ensure compliance with health and safety laws. These proceedings are separate to occupational health and safety charges that the Ministry of Labour can bring against employers. Four other temp agency workers have died in industrial accidents at Fiera Foods and its three affiliated locations. The Ministry of Labour laid health and safety charges against Fiera affiliate Upper Crust over the 2018 death last week. The Ford government has not moved to implement the measure, and also repealed new temp worker protections introduced under the Liberals such as the right to equal pay for equal work.
