Judge sides with unions in Chinese miners dispute

Unions fighting the company who hired Chinese miners to work a northern BC mine have cleared another hurdle. 

The court has ruled that HD Mining will have to hand over all documents submitted to the government with their applications to hire foreign workers for their Tumbler Ridge mine.

The judge said they must also give the unions access to documents related to the applications that the company did not submit to Human Resources Canada.

Today’s decision is the next step for the unions who want an injunction against foreign workers being employed where they say BC workers could do the job.

All parties are back in federal court next week to talk about both the injunction to keep HD Mining from using foreign workers and a judicial review.
