Canada's Building Trades Union (CBTU) has expressed frustration with Nextstar's employment practices at its Windsor battery plant, specifically the company's preference for hiring temporary foreign workers over Canadians. The union highlighted that 50 foreign workers are expected to arrive in April to undertake jobs initially promised to Canadian workers. This issue has been raised in a letter to the Prime Minister.
