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.
