A Woodstock woman is speaking out against gas station owners that are making their employees pay for stolen gas. Deborah Pommer called into a hotline of the Ontario Federation of Labour that was launched over the death of a gas station attendant in Toronto. He was run over by an SUV that was driving away without paying for $112 worth of gas. Pommer says it's a sad situation. "This is what prompted me to share my story. When I heard about the tragedy I just said 'Oh my god', for $110 this poor gentleman lost his life. I lost my job over $64. I'm in to support to have this stopped." Pommer says she was given an ultimatum by her employer to pay $64 that was stolen during her shift, or forfeit her job. She declined to pay, and and called the Ministry of Labour, who are investigating. As a result, Pommer doesn't want to name the employer, although the name has appeared in published reports. We've reached out to the company to ask for confirmation, or an explanation, but have yet to hear back. Pommer says before she was aware of the employment standards, she did turn over $40 in stolen gas money to her employer. "I feel I would probably never work at a gas station again. The amount of responsibility for the wage that you get paid is horrendous."
