Вопрос: Hunter mineworkers claim company has a 'gun to their heads'

Truck drivers from Canada's third-largest auto company, Superior Transportation Holdings Inc., have filed a federal lawsuit seeking to stop the company from operating near two towns within an 18-square-mile buffer from its headquarters, claiming it has a 'gun to their heads' to police its members' actions, according to a news release issued Tuesday.

"Our safety is and always has been Superior's highest priority," spokesman Michael Bausman said in the release. "The safety of our members, crew members and customers is paramount to us. The company has been informed by Superior that it cannot continue to do business in one of its most important locales."

According to the release, the company operates four trucks that have to be moved because they can no longer move around the four-mile buffer.

The trucks are also involved in several traffic-related violations that include improper traffic lights, failing to signal properly, and a broken signal switch and failure to carry out maintenance, according to the release.

The truckers would like Superior Transportation Holdings, headquartered in North Vancouver, to put an end to the ongoing litigation so they can return to work, Bausman said.

In May, Superior Transportation Holding's shares fell nearly 13% on news that the company had entered into a written agreement with British Columbia's Ministry of Transport to close all truck operations within two years. The state of British Columbia says Superior Transportation Holdings does not meet the province's safety standards, and it was forced to shut down its operations.

The lawsuit filed by the truckers seeks an order forcing Superior Transportation Holdings to halt its operations in the affected communities as well as permanent injunctive relief to stop the company from operating within the 20-square-mile buffer it currently has around the towns of Vancouver and Surrey.

In October, Superior Transportation issued a statement apologizing over "past wrongdoings" by management and claiming the issues could have been mitigated.

"We apologize for the past wrongdoings and apologize to the local communities, drivers, and other businesses that depend on our services," Superior Transportation said in the statement.

The truckers have called on Superior Transportation Holdings to stop its truck-related business, and the lawsuit seeks to order the company to stop operating in the communities and prevent truckers from going to work, but does not directly include Superior Transportation.

The lawsuit states that employees were given the authority to decide which jobs would be removed if a truck was involved in a traffic accident. Employees were required to notify a supervisor of their plans with specific details about the jobs to be removed. The release says it is Superior Transportation that would have to give notice to affected truck drivers.

Transport workers union says inquiry misrepresented facts about injuries suffered by firefighters and paramedics

A statement issued by Fire Service Canada says the safety of firefighters and paramedics is important to the public, as well as to the company responsible for the safety of their workforces.

The statement says the department continues to examine "several of the incident reports in particular."

It says the union has also requested more detailed information about how the incident was dealt with by the company, "including whether firefighting equipment is stored properly."

In its statement, the department says the fire service has identified and conducted an investigation into the matter. It says it is still seeking the results of the investigation, which will take weeks.
