St. John’s dock workers say some cruise ships are improperly using foreign labourers to unload luggage. Longshoremen’s union says the offloading should be done by local dock workers
The Longshoremen’s Protective Union, or LSPU, is accusing some cruise vessels of using foreign nationals to unload luggage in St. John’s, work which they say should be done by local dock workers.
The union gathered about a dozen workers for a protest at the St. John’s harbourfront Saturday morning.
LSPU Local 1953 president Chris Gosse says local union members should be the only ones doing dockside work.
