A Ukrainian woman living in Winnipeg is speaking out saying her former employer has failed to pay her and several other Ukrainian employees.
Viktoriia Korniienko started working at Pine Falls WorkWear at the end of July in 2022. When she first started, she said there were no obvious problems and she was being paid on time.
Once 2023 rolled around, that's when she started hearing concerns.
"I started discussing the wages between Ukrainian employees," said Korniienko through a translator. "Two ladies were concerned because each of them had about $5,000 unpaid and that's why the discussions started."
She said the employees all started discussing their pay and they all noticed they were missing money.
"I was supposed to be paid biweekly,” said Korniienko, “I worked (every) month, but I was only paid once per month."
She said she is owed just under $3,800.
