COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - Greenland on Friday passed a bill setting the framework for foreign mining and exploration companies to take advantage of the natural resources of the Arctic island and opening up for cheaper labor, including staff from China.
The legislation defines the size of what is determined a large scale project and regulates minimum salary levels for foreign workers.
The law has been criticized for paving the way for companies to employ foreign workers at a lower salary than what the companies would be paying Greenlandic workers.
