B C Railway Accused of Abusing Training Programs
A union official claims the crown owned British Columbia Railway misused Canada Manpower Training and Unemployment Insurance funds in 1974 and 1975. E G Dermody asks for a formal inquiry and higher employer contributions to cover losses while thirty to forty workers were lured into locomotive engineer training with promises of secure year round jobs. Many trained workers later faced unemployment, with losses blamed on the railway creating a skilled labor pool without corporate responsibility.
