RBC hires foreign workers in canada!

[Hopperbin]

Horse there are no grain farms hiring foreign workers other than exchange students etc. as far as we know correct? Vegetable farmers, market garden farms, u'picks, honey farmers, green houses all yes. but those are all low paying jobs basically minimum wage.

The techy cellar dwellers should be
adequately equipped to operate the new
computerized equipment if they would
surface. And actually knew what it was
used for.

Agreed Hopper: Immigrant workers are
more common on the labor intensive farms
you mentioned. Labor costs for grain
farms were discussed on here a while
back. Some farm machinery dealerships
have some immigrant mechanics as well,
who may also be in a bit of a hostage
situation....

Farmaholic you did read the article didn't you? It said the RBC fired Canadians and hired foreign workers to replace them, no where did it say lazy ass punks living in their parents basement who don't want to work that's another issue.
Also yes vegetable farms in Manitoba use Mexicans to work in the gardens all summer.
My point is sooner or later some genius is going to get the government of Canada to allow Canadian Chinese companies to bring in migrant workers for short term because they cant find qualified workers in Canada. Then they will pay these workers peanuts and no rights because their not Canadian. Its coming just not to many can see it.

Factoid. RBC is not hiring foreign workers. It is contracting services with another company. Yes, that service may have been previously done by its own employees, but the company had decided to contract it out. In this case the company providing the service is off shore.

Have any of us sold grain which is ulimatley processed outside of Canada? Bought anything that wasn't produced or manufactured in Canada? Point is the world ecomony thrives because of international trade. Who among us wants to put up trade walls and barriers around the county?

Banking is fun in Comedia, compared ta
shovelling grain. Low, low, low pay in
both fields though Fharperenritz, eh!!!

[sumdumguy]

I really dont like this practice. There is no way to
actually check these workers out and who knows
what they will do with my banking information,
way too risky!

how dare a company look offshore for a
cheaper supply to lower the cost of doing
business... us farmers would never do such
a thing.
