Hello, I work at Shells Albian Village for ESS Catering which is 83 km north of Fort McMurray, Alberta in northern Canada.
I just read this article;
…and wondered if you are aware how different the treatment of our workers is compared to that of the construction workers. Yes, you have an airstrip and provide transportation to the construction employee’s.
However, the ESS Catering employee’s that feed these workers not only do not have transportation provided (other than a meager 150 per month added to our checks…if they remember) on those company planes but we are now expected to make our own way into camp from Fort Mcmurray which is a $160 cab ride away as well. I just figured out how much it will cost me per month for transportation both ways.
