Cryingalmighty, I have never seen so many out of staters flooding into Alaska just in the last month!
They are everywhere, broke, looking for work and in a few cases are becoming downright dangerous.
Case in point, a California immigrant is hired to operate a concrete boom pump, he tries to adhere to the eco-friendly standards he was taught for California, the result was nearly tragic as his ineptness almost caused the death of a friend of mine. Basically he was so fearful of spilling concrete he allowed excess pressure to build up in the concrete hose, when it did go the contractor who was holding it was tossed 20’ like a rag doll.
I do the hiring at my concrete batch plant, sadly I must stand firm on hiring and I must hire local first even if the immigrant has more experience.
Immigrant? As in illegal immigrant? Idiots libs from CA turned the state into a toilet and move elsewhere like locust.
