Garbage truck drivers fired for speaking out about cameras

Two Okanagan garbage truck drivers say they have been fired after speaking out about a surveillance camera installed in a company dump truck.

We first brought you this story last week, when we told you two garbage truck drivers with OK Environmental Waste Systems were upset a surveillance camera had been installed on the front window of a company vehicle to watch workers on the job.

This week those two drivers are out of a job.

Shane Collins is a former driver for OK Environmental Waste Systems, the company contracted to pick up garbage and recyclables in the Central Okanagan.

He spoke with Daybreak host Chris Walker about what happened.



The garbage truck drivers aren't unionized, and as employment lawyer Veronica Ukrainetz tells CBC reporter Brady Strachan, workers do have a duty to the company they work for.
