    Island facing exodus of tradespeople to Fort McMurray By JIM BROWN, Journal Pioneer, Canada
    CHARLOTTETOWN-When skilled tradespeople can earn hourly packages worth $38.85 -- nearly double what they get in unionized work-sites on P.E.I. -- it's not surprising dozens have pulled up stakes and moved to Fort McMurray, Alta., to work in two multi-billion dollar oil sands projects, says Paul Chiasson.

    Chiasson is the business representative for Local 1338 of the P.E.I. Carpenters Union.
