Protestors Back At it Again

Unemployed labourers protesting the use of workers from outside the province at the Canaport LNG facility are back at it again today. A caller to our 648-3000 news line tells us they are already lining up outside her home on Bayside Drive. Yesterday, about 75 labourers blocked traffic in the Red Head area.

Shawn McAdam represents one of the unions upset about members of CLAC taking jobs from trades-people who live in this Province. He has said CLAC is nothing more than a non-unionized scab cross-trading outfit. The workers are being transported onto the Canaport LNG site daily to work on construction of the third storage tank.
