@ChrisM_18 If it's a public company, no argument there. Privately held, well they will hold off for as long as they can.

Public as in government. But, publicly traded can go on similar terms as well.

@speakup Jobs in BC does not necessarily mean jobs "for" British Columbians. Its all in the english language.

@TeriR what if and there were qualified Canadians that applied for this work?Then what MS suckem- up.what will your shrill spin be then.Your a halfed cracked Egg Mcmuffin, of the Liberal/Cons of the coalition, fan club! Union always take responsibility with the proper qualified safety personal that is part of any union contract. They will take blame with the employer if said Labor practices and safety are not met! Seems like you never worked on a union Construction site or underground I have where were you! Why are you not onside for Canadian workers do you work for HD mining or Christy Clark?You think men here do not know how to work underground many of the listed positions could have been met by those on a dispatch list, for example, blasters, drillers, miners and others. And no doubt other lists in Canada could have been drawn from, each with equally qualified personnel on them.In the mean time HD Mining could be training Canadian miners in long-wall mining techniques. It would take about six weeks for a miner to complete a course. Tell us some more BS from the pompous ass crowd! Go NDP Go
