Be a good employer and people will be less inclined to leave.

No doubt there will be a crunch - any new large employer coming to town will do that.

I'm not sure giving Irving a seat at the table discussing employment issues at another business is a great idea.

perhaps but there will definitely have to be a major recruitment effort on both coasts and enhanced training to go with it. Consultation with all 3 participants in the NSS as to numbers and training focus will be needed.

The training needs of Davie are quite different than the training needs of Seaspan and Irving due to 1 key issue - Language. Unless someone trained in the Halifax or Vancouver area is bilingual, their going over to Davie in QC is an non-issue.

Consultation and coordination are always good things. To me, a 'seat at the table' denotes greater involvement. Would they expect the same if GM or Bombardier decided to open an assembly plant (ludicrous as that may be)? Many skilled trades are transferable.

Ask yourself this question - what benefit would Hanwa or TKMS get from having these meetings with Irving? Does it benefit Irving more, does it benefit Hanwa/TKMS and Irving the same or does it benefit Hanwa/TKMS more?
