Alberta court makes no changes to class-action suit against Western Hockey League
CALGARY — Alberta’s highest court has ruled that a class-action lawsuit against the Western Hockey League can proceed with the players involved.
The suit contends that players have been paid less than the minimum wage — as little as $35 per week for between 40 to 65 hours of work.
It is asking for back wages, overtime and vacation pay.
The Court of Appeal dismissed various appeals calling for changes to the suit.
