Imperial Oil site

[CHIMO]

EDMONTON—The Alberta Federation of Labour (AFL) alleges workers who were unceremoniously turfed from their jobs at an oilsands project still haven’t been rehired despite claims to the contrary.

Pacer-Promec used the federal Temporary Foreign Worker program to bring in the workers that replaced the Canadians at the Imperial Oil site.

“It’s a perfect example of how this program is being used to drive down wages,” McGowan said. “And this situation is not unique. This is happening at work sites all over the country because this is how the Temporary Foreign Worker program is designed to operate.”

As I said in my other post - sounds like they have a sociopath as a PR consultant - say what everyone wants to hear, then do what you want anyway.
