Some long overdue wages have finally been paid to 57 tree planters, more than a year after they were found living in squalid conditions in a remote camp in southeastern B.C. Ros Salvador is a lawyer with the B.C. Public Interest Advocacy Centre. We spoke with Ros about the case back in August, when the workers still hadn't received any money from their former employers.
