Longshoremen face background checks CBC British Columbia, Canada
The union representing longshoremen in Vancouver says the checks violate the workers' right to privacy.
"It's our intention to try and stop it because we don't think it's warranted. It's an unnecessary intrusion into our members' lives," says Tom Dufresne, the president of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union.
But the federal government says the measures are needed to secure the waterfront – and that similar background checks have been in place at Canadian airports for years.------------------------------------------- posted 8:29 AM :: reference link ::
