Canadian Human Rights Commission: Huizhi Li

United Steelworkers Dept: In a letter sent to the commission last month, Huizhi Li, one of 17 workers that had already arrived to work at HD Mining's Murray River mine, cited content from the Steelworkers' website that he said violated human rights laws, according to Vancouver Sun. The union has also filed a safety complaint under the provincial Mines Act, alleging the miners in Murray River don't speak English well enough to understand their rights or to understand and comply with health and safety rules and vANCOUVER - The Canadian Human Rights Commission has rejected a complaint filed by a Chinese miner against the United Steelworkers, over the union's vocal campaign against temporary foreign workers at a coal mine in northeastern British Columbia. Specifically, Li cited allegations by the Steelworkers and other labour groups that about 200 miners the company has hired from China are working for lower wages and benefits than the Canadian norm.
