Park Place Seniors Living Inc.: Striking Workers

Foreign Worker Dept: The union which represents striking workers at the Edmonton seniors' facility filed a federal complaint against Park Place Seniors Living Inc. on Thursday, according to CBC. "The complaint alleges that a temporary foreign worker is being used in contravention of the regulation that governs the program," Petrie said. "You're not allowed to use those individuals in a labour dispute." The Alberta Union of Provincial Employees is accusing the owners of the Hardisty Care Centre of illegally using a temporary foreign worker to do the work of striking employees. Jim Petrie from AUPE says a replacement worker from India has admitted to strikers that he is on a one-year visa under the temporary foreign worker program. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
