Construction Labour Mobility: Blue Collar Workers

blue collar workers: Hours after Tory Leader Tim Hudak urged MPPs to back Tory MPP Jack MacLarens private members bill on construction labour mobility, it went down to defeat on second reading Thursday by the minority Liberal government and New Democrats, according to The Star. Its not fair . . . blue collar workers are being left out in the cold, Hudak told a news conference, saying the situation in eastern Ontario has reached a tipping point. Its time we stopped being boy scouts and The Progressive Conservatives have lost a bid to get Premier Kathleen Wynne to play hardball with Quebec for making it tough on Ontario construction contractors, workers and truckers to toil in la belle province. Hudak charged Quebec is ignoring a 2006 agreement on the issue while its workers easily find employment in Ontario. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
