Facts time.
Johnson County is littered with lazy, worthless, dopeheads. These people will not work. If anyone that lives in this area wanted a job at Parkdale, they have had 20 years to get a job there. If they applied and was not hired. They either failed drug test(which almost half do), had a criminal record, and failed the physical.
The Mexicans are NOT being paid less. They are making the same amount of money that everyone is. Race does not determine pay wages. That's illegal folks, prettttyyyyyyy sure a large corporation such as Parkdale isn't going to get mixed up in discrimination laws.
NO they are not firing the white employees so they can hire more mexicans. The only people getting fired are the people who are not performing job duties, failing drug test, or breaking attendance policy. If you owned your own business and you had a worker who was on drugs, was late often, called in "sick" a couple days every month and just flat out sucked doing their job.... Would you continue to pay them to LOSE you money or would you hire a hispanic that was already trained and would be there every day on time?? Hmmmmmm, I think the answer is obvious.
Another FACT - It's not JUST mexicans coming from this other plant. As part of a severance package, workers are offered to relocate if their are open jobs in other mills. Which is FAIR! Their plant shut down due to the building being leased and foreclosed by the bank. All of those people lost their jobs. It's only fair as a company that Parkdale offered them a job at another facility. White, black, yellow, purple, American, African, Mexican, Canadian< Australian ETC ETC.... It doesn't matter what color or nationality they are... It just so happens that the Hispanics will follow their work and make adjustments to keep their job. Company loyalty.
Parkdale DOES NOT pay the Hispanic workforces rent. From my understanding, they DID furnish them with hotel rooms for two weeks so that they could find places to live. After two weeks they were on their own.
I happrn to know of a person who turned in an application but was never called.He is not on drugs.He IS white.

And??????? Just because you put in an application doesn't mean you are guaranteed a job. If I go put in an application at Eastman, Snap On, or any other location and don't get hired should I run around screaming WHITE AMERICA?????

I laughed when I read that last post. That was a good one. White America!
I think the Mexicans came from a different plant, they were trained and new the job.
If it had been white people that had been relocated, would anything have been said?
Any company, I don't care if it's a grocery store looking for a cashier, management is going to hire the best qualified.
Why hire someone that has to be trained when you can hire someone that already knows how to do the job.

Idiot. Where did you come from? We need workers and family people in Shady. Most Mexicans are both. Very few locals are either. Drugs has ruined this place. Time for new blood. I welcome hard working family people regardless of where they are from.

Daily Horoscope for May 22

Capricorn

Don't take any risks when handling your finances today, because there are strange things going on. Someone may not be as straightforward and honest as usual, or can't explain themselves properly, which leads to misunderstandings and false assumptions. If you're spending money, make sure you're charged the right price and given the correct change. And don't let your wallet or purse out of your sight, in case you mislay it or someone nabs it.
