A Federal Court ruling in favour of two unions fighting the arrival of Chinese miners in BC will be appealed by the company that hired the foreigners.
HD Mining claims Human Resources Minister Diane Finley shouldn’t have voiced her concerns about the Temporary Foreign Worker Program after legal action was filed earlier this month.
Thursday, Justice Douglas Campbell sided with the unions saying they have a right to review agreements that would see foreigners taking jobs that could be filled by Canadians.
HD Mining executives continue to insist the Chinese workers were only hired after attempts to find skilled Canadians failed.
