The Crime Of H2B

The ad wasn’t in The Chronicle. Town of Chatham. Shellfish Propagation Specialist. June to December. Eight dollars an hour.

Placing an ad in only three weekday editions of a Hyannis daily shows no intention of hiring someone here. It’s an excuse for the state’s Alien Labor Unit to certify to the federal Departments of Labor no one is willing to work at absurdly low rate. Then the employer can bring someone in on an H2B visa desperate enough to work at this rate. As I wrote in my previous column, the Southern Poverty Law Center called this kind of bonded labor “close to slavery.â€

Excellent article!

And THIS is what Americans have been up against for years!!
