A new revelation isn't sitting well in the retail world today.

Court documents show the board of directors at Sears Canada made more than half a million dollars since the company went bankrupt.

That is despite the fact that employees who were laid off have received next to nothing nearly eight months after Sears checked out of Canada for good.

A lawyer representing former workers wants the company's board of directors gone.

Court documents reveal since January the four board members combined made $627,496 and incurred $629,000 in legal and financial advisor fees, as about 17,000 laid-off employees struggle.

Marilyn Martin and Helen Brisson are former Sears employees from Sudbury.

“I think it's disgusting. I have very close friends that I've made over the years at sears that are fighting for pensions that they paid into.” said Martin.

“It makes me very angry. I mean, why should they get all that money? That's not right!” said Brisson.

The 62-year-old worked as a manager at Sears for close to three decades and is now fighting just to get back what she put in.

“I had plans to do things with my pension, retire in the next few years, now it's not in my cards. Right now this is very worrying for me and my family.” said Brisson.

Even the Sears Canada's former Chief Executive Officer, Mark Cohen, is furious.

“These folks lining their pockets with real cash in a business that didn't have that cash available, this is nothing short of outrageous.” said Cohen.

The lawyer for the employees argues that continuing to pay the directors and legal representatives is a drain on the remaining assets of Sears Canada, especially when a court-ordered monitor is already dealing with the insolvent company.

Gilles Levasseur is a business professor at the University of Ottawa.

“All the support they are getting needs to be paid and a lot of that money comes from the sales of the real estate. So, you're actually using the estate to pay for services for them to make decisions, where you may already have people in the shop.” said Levasseur.

Despite that, analysts believe chances the board will be disbanded are slim.

“It’s very rare to see someone be removed because there is no indication that there has been something wrong or not appropriately done.” said Levasseur.
