Protestors Told To Back Off.....For Now

A temporary injunction has been ordered against a group of un-employed provincial trades-workers to stop their demonstrations. For the past three days, they have set up shop in the parking lot of the Hotel Courtney Bay to protest the hiring of non-unionized workers from Alberta to finish the third storage tank at the LNG Facility. Owner of the Hotel Guy Barbara tells CHSJ News, this is the first step in finding a solution to his problem.

Justice Hugh McLellan has ordered the company that hired the workers, the demonstrators and hotel owner Guy Barabara all return to court tomorrow(this) afternoon so all sides of the story can be heard. The protests began on Monday and have taken place every day this week.
