The Steelworkers’ Union took the issue of Chinese workers coming to BC for mining jobs right to the door of MLAs around the Province.
President of Local 2009 Manjit Sidhu says they were even outside BC Energy Minister Rich Coleman’s Langley office today.
Sidhu says they will take the issue to other provincial and federal politicians as well as the Premier soon.
“If we would have had a sitting of the legislature at least we would have been able to put the questions to our government. The fall sitting was cancelled so we have got to be out in front of MLA and MP offices talking to the public, keeping them aware of what is going on.”
Sidhu says while immigration is a federal issue it concerns BC because those jobs weren’t offered to local workers.
