Very nice rooms, recreation areas, gyms, dining hall, etc...The construction worker who stays in these camps have families just like you and me, they are hard working, tax paying individuals, in most cases pay a whole lot more taxes than some folks make in a year. These are good paying jobs. I understand some don't want them near their communities, but please, lets stop labeling the construction worker as if he is a criminal because he travels for a living.

Hey bub, don't get your feelings hurt. I'm in the construction field, been on mega-commercial projects as well as mega industrial. And I've worked along side laborers all the way up to VPs. I'm not talking about the career construction professional that makes a honest and fair living. I'm talking about the transient/gypsy "hand" that drink like fish as soon as they get off, fight like teenagers in the 5th wheel trailer park, and the ones that wont think twice about snagging your radio out your car bc they just got laid off and need a few bucks to get to the next gig. I just got off a 27 month $500+ million LC project, there were some characters that came here to say the least. I can only imagine what is to come.
