| > And for everything else we use subcontractors. Fucking disgusting. That's a very strong sentiment, sprinkled with ignorance. I work in hospitality industry and seen the underbelly of food production and construction of QSR locations. I speak from experience. Sure, everyone wants contracted, union labor and hire Americans but no one is willing to pay for it. Subcontracting is "Fucking Disgusting"? Okay, how would you like to pay 30% more for your food, clothing, and electronics? Doesn't sound so appealing? Well that's unfortunate. This isn't a complex problem - the economics doesn't work; American labor isn't hired because American's don't want to pay more for products. > Review and proper enforcement of 'prevailing wage' requirements. That is so simple to write...our HR department has to check every employee against many different services to ensure that they're legally allowed to work and are not felons, while constantly hiring. They're over worked and do not have adequate resources. Hiring more folks for HR is out of the question because the business has to be profitable...because...that's how the world works. However, if we raise prices, we could "Review and proper enforcement of 'prevailing wage' requirements" but then we would be out of business because no one would purchase our product since it would be too expensive. Statements are easy to make, solutions are tough. |
