flag Ontario workers are owed $200M in unpaid wages, with $79.9M unrecovered due to weak enforcement and declining inspections.

flag Ontario workers were owed nearly $200 million in unpaid wages over the past decade, with $79.9 million still unrecovered despite government collection efforts, according to a report by the Workers’ Action Centre using government data. flag Weak enforcement, declining workplace inspections, and a sharp drop in employer prosecutions—down 85% since 2017—have left workers, especially vulnerable newcomers, struggling to recover wages they legally earned. flag Despite rulings and legal actions like liens and garnishments, many, including immigrant worker Alberto Ojeda, remain unpaid, highlighting a systemic crisis in wage theft enforcement.
