Irving shipyard recruiting foreign workers to build new warship fleet despite vow of more jobs for Canadians

Irving Shipbuilding wants to bring in more foreign workers to help construct the Canadian navy’s new fleet of warships.

Irving is involved in a recruiting campaign to bring in workers from the Philippines as it gets ready to construct the first of 15 Canadian Surface Combatants.

… But Irving employees told this newspaper that the firm is losing skilled Canadian shipbuilders because the firm is not paying enough and benefits are lacking.

Big LPC supporters I hear.
