Baillie Wants Details On Failed Michelin Expansion


Nova Scotia's PC leader is calling on Premier Darrell Dexter to reveal why a proposed expansion at Michelin's tire plant in Waterville was nixed. The tire manufacturer scheduled a press conference last month at its plant in the Annapolis Valley but the company cancelled at the last minute. Jamie Baillie believes Michelin's decision to cancel their expansion plans is due to the first contract labour bill.



Michelin employs 3,500 people across Nova Scotia including 1,300 in Waterville and just over 1,000 in Bridgewater.
