I am all for competitive business and fair business....and i think unions are not good for business.

In my youngest days out of college, i have worked union for a publically traded EPIC company. The bottom line, i was hired to do a job.....if i didn't do it above and beyond what the company expected....they should have run me. But, that is how i am programmed....work my tail off and don't need to hide nor pay for "protection" for a job. If i don't like it, i move on.

I can say because it was a Phillipino crew. The Phillipino consulate has made a press release. And if you tell me that language barriers are not an added risk to whatever you may do for a living, i encourage you to go work in Corpus or Brownsville TX for a month and then come talk to me. Let me know how well you comprehend the Spanish version of the site orientation or the safety video.

Bottom Line on the Language barrier. I worked as structural fitter for 14 years probably 10 of or more I had Spanish Speaking workers around/with me. If I had to tell one that what they were about to do was unsafe/not productive, dangerous..... I could get my point across. I chose to learn some Spanish so that I could communicate with my helpers and make it easy on myself.
