Doubts over Tim Hortons' promise to hire 10,000 new "local employees"
After facing backlash over its reliance on temporary foreign workers, Tim Hortons announced it would fill 10,000 new positions with “local employees.”
Tim Hortons says it will scale back its use of the Temporary Foreign Worker program and hire 10,000 Canadians instead, as scrutiny grows over foreign worker hiring in the restaurant sector.
The campaign coincided with an announcement on Monday that the coffee chain plans to open 80 new restaurants by the end of this year.
