We're talking two heads of the same snake. You can blame undocumented people but I will continue to blame the people hiring them. The business owners are the root cause. They are the ones who are taking advantage of people. They are the one's who don't care about their employees.
Yes and no. If consumers refused to give their business to these contractors the problem self corrects.
I’m all for prosecuting unethical contractors (I report them weekly sometimes daily). The bottom line is the consumer continues to reward them with contracts.
I hate Trump with the energy of a million suns. He’s made noise about prosecuting contractors who participate in these unethical practices. Time will tell and I wish Dems would have had a better message and just acknowledged that they were causing harm to many tradespeople. Their arrogance cost us.
I wish they would talk more about the contract/temp and outsourcing in the white collar world. I've been contracting for the majority of the past 20 years. I would prefer a perm position but they keep getting harder to get. I don't get PTO, the insurance is unaffordable and few benefits.
It sucks but outsourcing sucks even more. They can pay people in other countries far less and half the time, it's the contractors who are training the offshore people to take over their jobs.
For manufacturing yes absolutely. The issue here is the trades. We are hemorrhaging voters from the trades. If you could see how many Hispanic tradespeople are MAGA you would be shocked. I’ve watched this exodus of my fellow brothers and sisters in the trades for almost 2 decades now. 😞
I’m glad you acknowledged that UD labor undercuts legal labor. Knowing that can you see why the democrats allowing 10,000,000 people into this country all while saying it wasn’t hurting blue collar workers might not have been a winning message? It clearly wasn’t a winning message. It’s a FU 2 labor
