RE: Fiera Foods fatalities
Dear Honourable Minister Scott:
This latest fatality of a temporary agency worker at Upper Crust compels me to write to you and call for a health and safety inspection blitz of Fiera Foods all other related companies such as Upper Crust. As you know this is the fourth fatality at one of Fiera Foods group of companies.
It was clear to me when Amina Diaby was killed at Fiera Foods in 2016 that this employer has been demonstrating a complete disregard for the safety of those that work there.
Now there are four deaths in nineteen years plus an unknown number of critical injuries. It is well past time that Fiera Foods and their directors be sent a message that ignoring Ontario’s health and safety laws and putting workers in harm’s way will not be tolerated.
The workers of Ontario are counting on you and your government to ensure they are protected at work. Do not let them down.
Sincerely,
CHRIS BUCKLEY
President
