Double time days took the spotlight at the LNG facility today as protestors blocked a bus-load of immigrant workers from making their way onto the site. Workers from other countries are brought in while Canadian workers are told to stay home. Rick Perron is a member of the Painters and Allied Trades Union and tells CHSJ News, this is becoming an issue for every union from coast to coast.
On-site security and City Police were called in to make sure cooler heads prevailed. This is the second protest by LNG Workers in as many weeks. A spokesperson for Canaport L-N-G says the dispute over shifting is between the contractor and the Insulators union. Carolyn Vanderveen tells CHSJ News, the dispute should be resolved quickly.
