Default Three cheers for Nashville!

The short strokes: A call centre company in Oshawa, Ontario, walks all the employees out, doesn't pay them (some people are owed 4 weeks pay, and slaps "bankruptcy" notices on the doors. They haven't filed a legal notice of bankruptcy with either the Province.

It is then found that they are moving operations to a new call centre, for a new client, to Nashville, Tennessee, where they've been told they'll receive a $1.6M 'job creation' grant. The mayor of Nashville finds out and the grant is cut, because obviously this company can't be trusted to stick around after they've received the money.

The Oshawa workers still haven't been paid, but the government is now getting involved.
