New foreign worker rules

Apr 26, 2012

The Feds are making big changes to temporary foreign worker laws. Not everyone is pleased though. The Alberta Federation of Labour says lowering wages for them makes our workforce less competitive & essentially steals jobs from the province. Nancy Furlong says the rules help big corporations save money at the expense of the unemployed. The AFL wants to see a more reasonable development pace in the oilsands & better training for foreign workers so they can get their trade tickets & stay in Canada.
