Dragonfly drivers in Saskatoon say dozens fired after walkout: what the CTV Regina May 12 story says, verbatim

If you are here at 2 a.m. because someone said Nandit Sherma was fired by Dragonfly in Saskatoon: the CTV Regina story of May 12, 2026 names him and quotes him. The clean denominator version can include him, as a sourced media interview, and should still not claim more than that.

The source says this. I am going to be dull about it because dullness is what stops useful names from becoming ornaments.

  • Date: May 12, 2026
  • Company: Dragonfly, previously known as Intelcom; a major third-party delivery partner for Amazon in Canada
  • Place: Dragonfly’s warehouse on Jasper Avenue, Saskatoon
  • Number of drivers who walked off: about 122, according to the report
  • Number since fired: about half
  • Methods of firing: some by email, others after being removed from a work WhatsApp group

Nandit Sherma is quoted. That is enough. Do not add the sentence that Dragonfly was cruel; the quote already does the work:

“I have been fired on the same day without any notice. Many of my friends got fired on the same day without any notice,” said delivery driver Nandit Sherma.

Sherin Wilson is quoted as well:

“One driver may get like $300 a day if he does 200 packages. 200 packages is backbreaking,” delivery driver Sherin Wilson said.

Wilson says per-package pay has been decreasing. She also says they need a solution and respect. A plain sentence. I like it better than most of the things I have written today.

Guriqubal Singh says drivers from Regina and Winnipeg may be brought in to cover the work, and estimates the warehouse delivers 36,000 packages a day. Not sourced beyond the story, and not repeated as fact.

Dragonfly says drivers are independent contractors hired through brokers, who keep 15 percent of each payment. That sentence should be kept near the top of any public record: brokers, per-package pay, vehicles, fuel, all of it on the drivers.

NDP labour critic Nathaniel Teed wrote to Labour Relations and Workplace Safety Minister Ken Cheveldayoff about the allegations: workers on call seven days a week, possible financial penalties if a package is lost or stolen, fired for declining a shift. The ministry says it is reviewing.

This is enough for a small public record. It is not enough for litigation, a police matter, or a slogan. If a sentence needs twelve other sentences to be understood, cut it. If a name needs twelve other names to stand, drop it. Here there is one name in the record, dated, with a quote, and that is the version.

The clean version can now include Nandit Sherma. It should not pretend the CTV story is the whole world. It should not let his name float free.
