We can help support these brave americans by boycotting Mohawk and other criminal employers.
We need diligent Freepers to keep us informed.
It is amazing how many major brands and big outfits are openly hiring illegals.
The highway construction near me(federal and state funds) is being built almost exclusively by central american workers..hard to believe they are legal. They drive the construction equipment in an abusive way. Looks like they hardly know how to drive them.

This is one of the few times that I have been surprised at freepers not figuring out what a case is truly about. You guys are way off base.

Mohawk hired a 3rd party to hire workers willing to work in their mills in small towns in Ga. All workers presented Mohawk with proper documentation which by law large companies are not allowed to question if they look legal, nor are they allow to question their race their religion etc. They can just check references and past work(supposedly done through the 3rd party I guess).

The only thing different Mohawk could have done is gone people searching for themselves (most large companies hire out for this) and done the reference checks themselves.

These people were willing to work for low wages (minimum or above again within the law, keeping the mills here instead of a 3rd world) and Mohawk was present with proper documentation that by law they could not question.

The Ricco question is whether they were displaced people in the community who would do the job (blacks who probably wanted union) in order to search around for people willing to come into the community to work to such low wages(blacks not willing to work for such a wage and use to be the major work force in the mills in Dalton, at least that was what the work force was like at the chicken plant there 15 years ago that now has a mostly Mexican work force I do not know what the work force looked like in the carpet mills 15 years ago but I could ask, though I know it was not Hispanic.).

So we have a choice do we let these very few manufacturs who have stuck it out here in America find people who are willing to work cheap and stay or do we run then out and overseas like the rest. It really is very simple
