Stop Temporary Foreign Workers

Hahaha. That's what I figured.

I went on 70 hours simply because that's what most drivers run on and its pretty clear the pay stinks.

 

Yea but if his 450 a day is based on 14 hours a day that isn't bad. Any more hours the hourly wage keeps dropping and it starts to become less appealing....

 

Nate......he's saying 5 on. 5 off.
At 450 a day over 14 hrs, that puts him at $32/hr. Now if you factor in the five days off over a ten day period you're averaging $16/hr for 10 days.

Can you live ob that anywhere in the North?

I don't really know.....you would know better than me.

 

It's $81,000-ish gross/year for working 182 days. That looks pretty good vs most trucking jobs.

And if that's not enough, being in Canada, a person can have a second job and if it's a non-carrier job then it doesn't count against their 70.

 

Exactly ^ better than what most trucking companies pay. Not the best but not the worst

 

Heck, even an office job is about 230-ish days per year.

 

Immediately after. A guy was fired and replaced with a more compliant and acquiescent Temporary Foreign Worker who did not complain about safety, long hours or low pay.

Nobody suggested that Temporary Foreign Workers get a free ride. I am suggesting quite the opposite - that Temporary Foreign Workers are disgraceful nouveau-slavery that Canadians should be ashamed of. Temporary Foreign Workers are workers without rights that are used to suppress wages for Canadian citizens and nothing else. In laissez-faire, unrestrained Ayn Rand capitalist redneck Alberta, business owners would send ships to foreign countries to capture workers and sell them in slave markets in Whitecourt and Fort McMurray if they thought they could get away with it.

As well, you might be a fine Canadian citizen but the Temporary Foreign Worker program should not be a back-door route to citizenship.

Except for the job you took from a Canadian citizen.

That might have something to do with with the Calgary - Vancouver - Edmonton Punjabi triangle of death and destruction created by recent-immigrant hyper-aggressive, cantaloupe-sized testicles Punjabi fake drivers license truck drivers and Punjabi Temporary Foreign Worker indentured slave truck drivers brought into Canada by Punjabi recent-immigrant trucking company owners/slave owners. It is simply too dangerous to be on the same roads with those crash-master guys in the winter. They are at least as bad as the big-attitude careening white-trash inbred crack-babies hauling camp shacks in northern Alberta and they aren't even on crack.

Wow, thanks for the offer! If you are willing to hire me after the terrible things I have said then I am sending you my resume! We will be a team!

Note: Re Recent Changes in the Temporary Foreign Worker Program

After Minister of Employment Jason Kenney acknowledged that business owners are using Temporary Foreign Workers to suppress wages in his home Province of Alberta, the floodgates were somewhat closed. However, Temporary Foreign Worker truck drivers are still being brought into Alberta.

 

Let's put it this way.. If you were to make this wage doing otr you would need to drive bout 1125 miles in a day. Average bout 80 mph for 14 hours. That's at a generous rate of 8 nickels per mile. take tour pick boys.

 

yeah really

 

It looks to me like he is PROVIDING 6 canadian citizens jobs and (to those that know how to count) decent paying jobs.
