3 Irving Shipyard executives, including president Kevin McCoy, travelled to the US and returned to Canada but were exempted from the 14-day self-isolation requirement, a company spokesperson confirms to the Halifax Examiner. 1/
The spokesperson says prior to the execs& #39; travel, the company sought, and received, exemptions from both the provincial and federal governments. The exemption required them to return to Canada, get tested, and self-isolate until the test results came back, which they did 2/
I was not told where they travelled in the US, but the execs were on company business related to the shipbuilding contract. 3/
Unifor Local 1, which represents workers at the shipyard, expressed notified its members this morning and expressed concern, saying that all 3 execs are returning to work at the shipyard 4/
One of the three execs, Greg Thomas, is returning to the shipyard but will not take part in sea trials scheduled for this week. /5
I& #39;m promised an official company statement, but I haven& #39;t received it yet. I& #39;m asking the Dept of Health why the exemption was granted. 6/
My sense tho, is that one set of rules apply to most of us, and another set of rules to those considered more worthy. I& #39;ll have more later.
