Stop Temporary Foreign Workers

I have received a personal e-mail about the mechanics of conducting a boycott of trucking companies that hire Temporary Foreign Workers. It would really be quite simple and it would not require any work. The names of trucking companies that hire Temporary Foreign Workers could be posted here by truck drivers who have confirmed that those trucking companies hire Temporary Foreign Workers or are threatening to replace Canadian truck drivers by filing an LMO. Truck drivers could choose to boycott those trucking companies by refusing to submit job applications to them. Truck drivers and anyone else could also choose not to purchase the products and services of the customers of trucking companies that hire Temporary Foreign Workers.

It would not be necessary to convince Canadians to support such a boycott. There is widespread anger about the Temporary Foreign Worker Program. Temporary Foreign Workers in trucking are making pay and working conditions worse for Canadian truck drivers.

 

If it is any consolation, the number of Temporary Foreign Workers is increasing.

Temporary Foreign Workers replacing Canadian truck drivers in Alberta are increasingly unqualified. Many must be trained from scratch. Many are terrible truck drivers that are a hazard to public safety. Many Temporary Foreign Workers are replacing Canadian truck drivers who were fired on the spot for complaining about safety or low pay.

If you wish to compete with Temporary Foreign Workers I advise you to:

1. Give up your rights as a Canadian citizen.
2. Agree to indenture yourself as a slave for two years.
3. Work for less money than a Canadian.
4. Smile and do what you are told without question, even if you are instructed to break Canadian law as a condition of your employment.

Happy trucking!

 

Re: Temporary Foreign Workers in Fort Mac.

Funnily enough, I was in the drug testing clinic for my humiliating truck driver drug test and there were some Newfs there being tested for an ultra-crappy non-union construction job in Hells Acres, Northern Nowhere, Alberta. They were being replaced by Temporary Foreign Workers after several years on a job in plush Fort Mac. The funny part is that two of the replacement workers were sitting right beside me in the waiting room, not three meters from the unfortunate Newfs! Ha, ha! Poor Newfies! The Temporary Foreign Workers were from the Fujian province of China and they had obviously fake qualifications but they were satisfying their typically Foukienese wanderlust by traveling to Alberta at the expense of their contractor-employer (to take jobs from Newfs).

 

I hope that is clear from the content of this thread. To reiterate: I do indeed have it in for the TFW! I want the Temporary Foreign Worker Program stopped. The Temporary Foreign Worker Program is wildly out of control. It's creating a new class of workers without rights. It's driving down wages for Canadian citizens.

The Temporary Foreign Worker Program has replaced immigration as a means of increasing the population of workers in Canada.

Re: Irish Immigrants

Until recently someone wishing to emigrate to Canada from Ireland would apply to be a citizen of Canada. Those Irish immigrants were granted rights of citizenship in Canada.

Victims of the real estate bubble burst in Ireland contemplating an escape to Canada may wish to note that Canada presently has a real estate bubble eerily similar to that of Ireland. It may be ironic to be in Canada as a worker with no rights when the bubble bursts.
