Don’t look for the provincial government to step into the dispute between unionized workers and a company using non-union labour from Alberta.
The situation has sparked protests at a local hotel where the outside workers are staying — but — in response to a CHSJ News question — Premier Graham says he understands their frustration — but — it’s not provincial jurisdiction.
Graham says the dispute is between the workers and the contractor — and — they must come to some kind of agreement.
The local workers say many of them are now unemployed and it’s not fair to have the non-union workers coming in from out of province to take their jobs.
