    Labour dispute creates chill at Ice Hotel
    The mastermind behind Quebec City's world-famous Ice Hotel says a feud with Quebec's biggest labour union could send a fatal chill running through his successful attraction after only three years of operation.

    Jacques Desbois, the man known to many as "Mr. Igloo," is being hauled before Quebec's construction commission in late March or early April to answer to a complaint lodged by the Federation des Travailleurs et Travailleuses du Quebec.

    The construction arm of the FTQ, is furious that the 30-member team that turns more than 10,000 tonnes of snow into a glacial palace each winter are not unionized and therefore do not have their wages and working conditions regulated by the commission.
