Thread: Labor contractor`s group says illegals stealing jobs

Labor-contractor group's leader says illegal workers stealing jobs
The head of an organization that represents contractors and unionized carpenters said the recent arrests of undocumented workers in Hawai'i is just the "tip of the iceberg" and he fears many more people could be working illegally in the state. Kyle Chock, executive director of Pacific Resource Partnership, said he doesn't know how widespread the problem is, but believes the number of illegal immigrants is significant. Pacific Resource Partnership is an organization of contractors and the 8,000-member Hawaii Carpenters Union. "For us it's problematic because we've got about 1,500 members in the Carpenters Union who are unemployed and these are law-abiding, local people who are losing their jobs to illegal workers. It's just not right," Chock said.

I would bet my life... well maybe my car, that your right!

I'm actually surprised their are not more construction union members getting together and lobbying congress over this, we know their are alot of construction workers in the states who have lost their job to cheap labor, they need to form a large group and march on the halls of congress.

They can also need to speak out alittle louder to the candidates, seems like they cower when they get in front of them.

Both candidates have a way of intimidating their audiances.
