So what's the big deal?
Anyway, this stuck out to me:
"The appetite for construction in the Southwest is so ravenous that getting employees to come and work for you is a major obstacle. If you're going to be competitive, you had better have a good working relationship."
*eye roll*
Simply said, it is called raising your wages. Among other things. Hey, maybe if they raised wages to become more "competitive," then they might start attracting legal American workers. Who knows where the concept might lead us.
Reuters has an article detailing how employers are going to deal with the hispanic walk outs. (I mean, how hard is it to deal with an employee who is absent? I know where I work, we have three absents/sick days without doctor's note/late days before we are written up. After the first write-up, we can be fired. Just follow policy. No need to make a bigger deal out of the whole thing.)
