Truck News - Traitors of Trucking


Ontario Trucking Association Chairman David Carruth, Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Challenger Motor Freight Chairman Dan Einwechte conspire to screw Canadian truck drivers with Temporary Foreign Workers.

“Trucking companies can’t move overseas, so they’re trying to bring cheap labour to Canada. This is nothing short of an attack on Canadian workers and the middle class,” said François Laporte, President of Teamsters Canada. “Instead of trying to suppress wage growth, the Ontario Trucking Association should be looking at ways to give truckers a big raise.”

 

Have you read this thread?

You are proposing moving from the United States to Canada - a country that allows trucking companies to import foreign workers for the sole purpose of driving down all Canadian truck drivers wages. You must enjoy low pay and increasingly dangerous working conditions. Just to be clear, we are talking about the Government of Canada inviting unskilled, unqualified, dangerous, third-world (primarily Punjab and the Philippines at the moment) workers to replace Canadian truck drivers. The reasons Canadian trucking companies love the foreign workers is because they can pay them less and make them drive dangerous, poorly-maintained equipment. The foreign workers are the next best thing to slaves. The foreign workers can be treated as if they have no employee rights whatsoever.

Let's also be clear that trucking anarchy in Canada is getting worse by the minute. Not only is the Canadian Temporary Foreign Worker Program working against Canadian truck drivers, there are very large numbers of Punjabi men entering Canada through loopholes to drive trucks in Canada. For example, there are 130,000 citizens of Punjab in Canada on fake student visas. It is possible that 129,999 of them are driving trucks (and none of them are qualified or experienced to do so). There are many and varied other back-door ways for Canadian trucking companies to acquire third-world replacements for Canadian truck drivers:

You should also be aware that unlike the United States, Canada has no NHTSA or NTSB to investigate truck crashes. There is no Federal oversight of highway transportation in Canada and there is no Canadian Federal body to investigate highway crashes. It's bloody anarchy.
