Re: Construction work in Canada?/ Holidays / Conditions etc
Hi
I will be starting my new job as a construction tradesman in Alberta in January.
Does anyone here work in construction over there and how do the conditions
differ from in the U.K, working conditions, facilities. attitudes to work etc?
I have also read they have less holidays over there?
I will be working for a large nationwide company, whereas I have been self employed and worked for small sub contractors all my days in the U.K, so
I am expecting some differences straight away.
Thanks
