Increased wages generally fixes any “labour shortages”.

They dont want to pay a living wage for disgusting work in awful conditions. Are they surprised nobody domestic will work there?

I’d say that labour is a commodity subject to market forces, but I’d be dismissed as a Marxist.

Any business that crys for TFW’s doesn’t deserve to be in business because they only want slave labour. You know what fixes this? Competition, Canada should start up a new business tax exemption for Canadians to compete against these types of jobs. Make it 10 years of no taxes until the business hits 10 million dollars profit.
Call it the “Ten to Ten pipeline to Canadian health.”

I know at least 5-6 people late 20-30 would take a full-time job at these places with something decent for wages. They have no skill but need something.

When’s the last time they offered raises?
London has high unemployment, if they wanted to hire Canadians for 20 bucks an hour they could.

There is no such thing as a “labor shortage”. It is a myth akin to the leprechaun’s pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. The only thing we are experiencing is a shortage in companies willing to pay a living wage and a shortage of companies willing to offer first world working conditions in a first world country.
We need legislation that any company that claims to have a labor shortage should have to have their finances (including the finances of their executives) audited by the Canada Revenue Agency. That will cut these bogus claims down to near-zero. We would never hear the term “labor shortage” again if we did that.

They have a shortage of labor that’s willing to work for the pittance they’re willing to pay.

This is a wage problem not a worker problem.
People can’t afford to work at jobs that don’t pay enough to cover the costs of food and shelter.

Lots of young people looking to work jobs with actual living wages. I feel like the minimum wage needs to go up again. The race to the bottom needs to stop.

Starve them of labour and shop at your local farmers market. Fuck these corporations, they are over charging you under-paying their workers and starving farmer by paying the absolute bottom price on primary products.

“Labour shortages” means that they don’t have an unlimited supply of desperate workers willing to work high-turnover jobs for minimum wage. If they increased wages, people would turn up and stick around for these jobs. It’s all about wage suppression, never forget that.

Cargill. That’s fuckin funny. They’re why T-bone steaks are almost $30 each and they’re crying poor.
Cattle farmers get how much of that?
