Hard to believe the company cannot find workers at that rate though.
Especially when US citizens are lining up for $9/hr. jobs around here. Could it be something "else", like no place for these workers to stay? Or perhaps unsafe working conditions? Usually there's "the rest of the story" to these whines about "jobs Americans won't do".
Vidor was in the news a number of years ago as being one of the only communities in the US that had NO black residents. Totally by the black people's choice, according to the town manager, they were perfectly welcome, but none chose to move there.
Don't know if this anomaly has anything to do with that one, but it makes ya go hmmmm...
Exactly. There is a large construction company working on a project near here that is doing a large project. They are hiring laborers at $9/hr and have been able to hire. They advertised on the internet as well as in area newspapers.
There is more to this story, maybe this company is hard to work for, unsafe conditions, etc. If places to live or stay is an issue- did they offer to furnish those things to US workers as they are offing them to others?
I have no problem with this company following the law to hire legal workers from another country. I am just not sure they are being honest about their reasons. In any case this has nothing to do with illegals.
