I could feel IQ points slipping away as I read that post.
We have that already, called Temporary Work Agency's. What a scam.
An employer calls and asks for say 6 workers to do factory jobs. The Agency will be paid $5.00 an hour for each worker and the worker gets minimum wage.
Th employee is now realised from tons of paper work, the Agency does it all. Takes out taxes and pays for drug tests and has the responsibility of informing the workers of what will be required in the work place.
Fun for permanent employees, in come people we need to train in a job, depending on the agency people are sent that cannot speak English, people with police warrents out on them, heavy drug users, not unusual to find a kid only 14 using their older siblings identification to work. [ When it comes to Asians some 40 year old men are the same size as a American 12 year old. ]
Some work out, learn by their wits the job and English, or work with older people that know English and translate for them.
Some of these Temp Agency's have a policy that if a worker is satisfactory to the Company they can be realeased to the Company to work as a permanent for a buy out price. -- Today's hidden slavery ---
Worse is that if a worker is found to not be employable for any reason by the company, fails a drug test or what ever, then the Temp. Agency's black list them any of their other Agency's and often send out warnings to other Agency's not to waste money on that worker.
Example here.
I was in charge of training 12 or so new people hired by a Temp. agency in Mass, 50 miles away. The people came in by van that the Temp agency charged the workers $10.00 a DAY to get to work. I had a complaint that some of the workers appeared to be gang members, a couple looked to be under 13 and could not speak any English.
My Supervisor assured me that all could speak English, all were 18 years old + and all had passed the drug test and back ground check given by the Temp. Agency.
My job was to train them any way I could. YIKES-----I had to use sign language to show them what was what, I had to walk softly around the males that had a disliking of taking orders from a woman.
We did after 3-4 weeks get into a working productive environment, fast learners and very hard workers. Then the Shit hit the fan.
I came in on a Monday and my workers were all whispering among themselves, not paying attention and becoming antsy, WTF ?
Tuesday none of them showed up, none of my supervisors would tell me a Damn thing. Darn I had the need to know but I was left in the dark.
I was informed at the same time as the grape vine was, not from company but office staff that the Temp. Agency had absconded with the workers pay, these poor SOB's that worked their butts off had not been paid in 2 weeks.
Hell of a mess, this Temp Agency had sent hundreds and hundreds of worker out all over New England and had stolen their pay for 2 weeks and the company money sent to them to employ them.
Result, the Temp Agency filled bankrupt and moved on, changed their name and is still operating in the area.
Shit happens to those that work hard to survive, I wonder how many of my trainees felt they could make more money stealing cars or hooking as an independent on the streets ????? Say they tried it the honest way and were ripped off by the sharks in the costumes of honest business men. These people at least gave it a try to work very hard for a living, what did they get but excuses of why they could not get the money from hard work back.
Really this is not a rare occurrence, happens every day to someone, be it us or to our neighbors, Unions that have the leaders raid the pension fund, to us buying a $30,000 Lemon of a car that that dealer cannot fix and refuses to replace.
Too many laws out there that hog tie us, too many rules that we do not know about but can be used against us.
Way off topic but this makes me angry Just wait until a liberal gets good job and is laid off on second day of hire.
Or finds his son living with Grandma and her home is lost to JR. growing pot in the attic.
Argggggggg.
