Inside our probe of Canada's trucking industry

تفصیل

Trucking is an essential industry that underpins the Canadian economy — and was once a path to middle-class life for drivers. But a Globe and Mail investigation has uncovered systemic issues beneath the surface: wage theft, employee misclassification and weak enforcement across a fragmented regulatory system. Only a small number of employers face penalties and governments recover just a fraction of unpaid wages. For the better part of a year, reporters Sara Mojtehedzadeh and Mahima Singh examined concerns raised by drivers and experts. They filed more than 30 freedom-of-information requests, analyzed datasets from transport regulators across the country and conducted interviews with more than 20 drivers and industry insiders. #trucking #canada
