Manitoba Federation Of Labour: Federal Rules

Manitoba Dept: Under the rules, employers can pay skilled workers from outside the country as much as 15 per cent less than the wages paid locally, according to CBC. Kevin Rebeck heads the Manitoba Federation of Labour and labour unions in Manitoba are upset with new federal rules allowing companies to pay temporary foreign workers less than rates set for local workers. The Manitoba Federation of Labour said that will put pressure on workers in the province to accept lower wages. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
