* BC - Vancouver port truckers could be owed "millions" in back pay: union
-- The roots of the dispute go back to the one-month strike in March 2014 that brought Vancouver's port to a standstill... An audit that found six container trucking companies had underpaid their workers is just the tip of the iceberg, according to the union that represents some of Metro Vancouver’s 1800 port truckers... B.C.’s Ministry of Transportation stated today that an audit conducted by Port Metro Vancouver had found six companies investigated did not pay their drivers the retroactive rates required by an agreement signed December 2014... The audit process is ongoing, although the six audits announced today were described as "concluded." In an email to Business in Vancouver, ministry staff wrote that the names of the companies aren't being released because the province's Office of Trucking Commissioner is still notifying the companies... In a press conference today, Stone said the consequences could include fines or suspended or revoked licenses...
