Higher wages for foreign workers

Jason Kenney set to introduce new temporary foreign worker rules - Politics - CBC News

What a crock of friggin' bullsh*t! Jason Kenney is out of his gourd. There should be three criteria for filling jobs at Big Macs. Competence, a work ethic and first choice to local residents. If no locals apply, then hire the foreigners. It's not f**king rocket science! You don't pay people more based on ethniticity.

The whole point of TFWs was to fill gaps in the labour force. It only makes sense to make it more expensive than training Canadians.

I'm guessing that the TFWs also don't get a free pass on healthcare or social services.

If you make it more expensive to hire temporary foreign workers, companies will be less likely to hire them. It's not f**king rocket science!

There's nothing wrong with hiring foreign workers if there is no other choice!

If you want to make sure that companies are actually giving first priority to local workers, making it more expensive to hire foreign workers will definitely do that.

The only thing that will do is to piss the locals off. Just watch what happens when there's a dozen locals and one or two others receiving higher pay! There's going to be blood shed.

I agree with you but would do it as a tax. Get some extra government revenue and avoid more anomosity between Canadian workers and foreign ones. I also think they should shore up their process that shows there are no Canadian's available.

Such a Tea Bagger!

LOL... I LOVE IT!

It doesn't get better.

That's impossible! You guys are too polite and welcoming to all immigrants and cultures!

Why are the companies going to hire foreign workers if there are locals willing to work for less?

It's a trap, in the fine print it says the only jobs they are suitable are as prison guards because they cannot understabd the inmates and so they cannot be successfully bribed, like in the past. That'll show 'em who is the big boss man.

If you think about it for a minute there, Einstein, (with the exception of the aboriginals) we are all immigrants or descendants of immigrants.

Lots of reasons a couple would be more experience at the job, better work ethics, better employment record.

If they are forced to pay foreign workers more there is no reason to NOT pay local Canadian workers more.

One of the excuses these companies have used is that they are unable to find workers willing to work. Clearly those unwilling to work see no point in slaving away for peanuts.

Now, they just need to work on ensuring that those that are brought into this country to work will know their rights and NOT be treated as slaves.

If that is the case then why shouldn't they get paid more?

You guys need to have more faith in the intelligence of business owners. Why would they pay a foreign worker more if they could get a Canadian worker to do the job for less money(and a hell of a lot less paperwork and red tape).

Raising the cost of temporary workers will reduce the number of cases where people are using temporary workers just because they don't want to pay competitive wages to local workers, and help ensure that people only use them in the event that they actually can't find anyone local to do the job.

Normally I would agree and it would be workable IF you have one or two local hires that you are justified in paying more so no one can make an ethnic issue out of it.

So what are you whining about in your previous posts Einstein?

Did you just have an epiphany and all of these immigrants getting higher wages are OK?

 

[JLM]

My contention has always been you always pay a worker the maximum you can justify as it often works out that when you pay him an extra $ he'll make you 11/2 or 2 in return. This of course only works at jobs involving production, NOT bureaucrats!

Why does that matter? If they are qualified enough that companies are willing to pay more for them, why should anyone stand in their way.

In matters pertaining to labour common sense doesn't apply.

Tea Bagger!



Conservative!

Sorry to disappoint you but in matters political I'm NON partisan. I vote for whatever WORKS. -
