"The owner of an Etobicoke-based Canadian Tire store has been fined $111,000 by the federal government for violating the guidelines of Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) program. Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), the federal ministry that runs the TFW program, found branch owner Ezhil Natarajan in violation of two guidelines: that wages, work conditions or the job did not match what was listed in offers of employment and that employees were assigned to work different roles than what they were hired for."
"ESDC's final decision in July this year came after two of the Etobicoke branch's former employees spoke out to CBC News alleging mistreatment, poor working conditions and being paid less than agreed-upon wages by Natarajan. Natarajan did not respond to CBC News' request for comment Monday. He has owned and managed various Canadian Tire stores through his company GeethaEzhil Inc. since 2012, according to a LinkedIn profile seen by CBC News last year. Ontario's Ministry of Labour said an investigation into Natarajan is ongoing."
