Use of foreign workers in Gold River riles jobless By Adrienne Tanner, The Province
Anger is mounting over a federal government decision to grant 11 labourers from India work permits to dismantle machinery at a defunct pulp mill in one of the most depressed areas of B.C.
Unionized trade workers gathered outside federal offices yesterday to protest the decision to import foreign workers to Gold River, where unemployment is high.
Wayne Peppard, executive director of the provincial building trades council, said foreign work permits are properly restricted to jobs for which no Canadians are qualified or available.------------------------------------------- posted 7:17 AM :: reference link ::
