Article Abstract:
Union officials have alleged that many foreign-looking welders at a Western Australian resource project were employed. They fear such workers were taking jobs from skilled Australians and young workers who need training. Immigration authorities investigated the status of the workers. Jock Ferguson, assistant state secretary of the Australian Manufacturing Union, claims the Korean-born workers were members of his union.
