Shaw Communications broke employment law

lumix · Mar 11, 2013

Two former Shaw Communications employees are blowing the whistle on how the telecommunications giant broke employment law for years.

Rob Browridge and Tasha Lowe say Shaw underpaid them by declaring them independent contractors when they should have been paid as employees.

“It’s really mean. It seems mean-spirited to me,” Browridge said. “The amount that I was getting paid was pretty brutal … with no benefits, with nothing.”

“You would expect something like this maybe from a smaller business or something, but this is a company that is highly profitable. They can afford to pay people properly,” added Tasha Lowe.

Browridge was a cameraman and Lowe was an editor with Shaw’s community TV division in Vancouver. They worked there at different times, each for more than two years.

Are you implying Shaw did not break employment law?

Sadly, this practice is widespread, even for government agencies.
