Cheap Weasel Whines....Can't Get Employees

@ 06:14 PM (14 months, 24 days ago)

Ahhh, either pay better wages or go the hell out of business you tight ass.

Walks with a Squeek

SULPHUR, Okla. (AP) _ A saddle company that lost 51 employees after an immigration raid last August still has an idle production line and is struggling to return to normalcy.

Immigration agents raided Billy Cook Harness & Saddle's downtown factory Aug. 2, and 51 illegal workers were either deported to Mexico or are awaiting deportation proceedings.

Owner Billy Cook, who avoided prosecution and fines, had 75 employees the day of the raid, 24 the day after. Officially, Cook has replaced 26 of the 51 lost workers, but he has hired many more than that over the past six months.

``They come and they go. They may stay one day, two days, a week. Or you hire them and they don't show up,'' Cook said.

He has advertised in area newspapers for jobs that pay $6 an hour to start, with a 50-cent raise and health insurance after 90 days.

Six bucks an hour?? Woo-hoo!! Can't wait to get there. Gee, why pay them anything? Why not bring back slavery?
