BC Public Interest Advocacy Centre Dept: The complaint was filed Friday by the BC Public Interest Advocacy Centre on behalf of the Mexican workers: Rodolfo Lara, 43; Edxon Gonzales, 35; Eric Dessens, 33, and Ruben Ramirez, 28, according to Vancouver Sun. They claim they were coerced by Van Den Bosch to live in one of two houses he owned, where up to 10 people lived two to a room in a five-bedroom, two-bathroom house and four former Tim Hortons employees from Mexico are at the centre of a human rights complaint against a franchise owner in Dawson Creek alleging the workers were forced to live in overcrowded housing and subjected to racist and discriminatory treatment. The men came to Canada earlier this year through Canada's temporary foreign worker program to work in two Dawson Creek restaurants owned by Tony Van Den Bosch.
