Staff at two restaurants in Labrador City say their workplaces were shut down without warning last week and they were locked out. Jungle Jim's and Greco's Pizza franchises in the community were owned by Jeff and Miriam Staples. "Miriam wants to thank everyone for their hard work," a group message sent to staff read. The Canada Border Services Agency searched this Labrador City residence in November 2013 as part of an investigation into housing arrangements for temporary foreign workers. Miriam Staples dismissed the allegations at the time as gripes from employees who had been let go.
