There is new information on the growing crisis involving Fox Collision and its owner, Todd Fox. His five Tulsa businesses closed their doors last week. Now, former employees are working on a class action lawsuit to get their lost wages. Companies that supplied parts to Fox are also considering legal action because they haven't been paid.

In addition, we've also learned that former Fox employees in Arkansas aren't getting unemployment because the company never paid the system. And, on top of all that, NewsChannel 8's Burt Mummolo reports on a former employee who is literally facing a life and death situation due to the closure of Fox.

Steve Edkin was a loyal employee whose bank account now sits at zero, whose wits are at an end and whose health is in serious jeopardy.

Monday, unfinished cars continued to be towed away, leaving behind parts and the lives of those who worked there in limbo.

"I'm just in a spot," Edkin says. "I don't know what to do."

Edkin was a Fox auto-body tech for four years. A bounced paycheck on his coffee table isn't the worst news he's received lately. Ther was also a bad phone call from his doctor. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer one week before the doors closed. Now he's facing a mountain of bills with no insurance.

"My doctors say if I don't have the surgery and the cancer spread I've got two years to live," Steve says. "This man signed my death warrant."

There is no safety net, no COBRA, because there's no Fox, and Edkin can't find anyone who will insure him.

"I can't sleep at night, I lay in my bed. My life is on the line here. I don't know what to do, you know. I just don't know what to do, I don't."

As for owner Todd Fox, one of his last remaining workers claims not to know where he is.

"Have you heard from todd fox? I have not. Nothing? I'm gonna help these guys here."

Edkin is looking for help, too from an employer out there willing to hire a man with prostate cancer and from a medical system he currently has no way of paying for.

"They say this needs to be taken care of quickly," he says. "Quote, one of the doctors said quickly."

Fox employees who are having paycheck problems can file with the Oklahoma Department of Labor. Each person must file individually. For more information, call 581-2400.
