    Backfire due to strike.

    As I have stated before my fiance owns and operates a landscaping/yard care business. She has always have only used American labor and it has been advertised that way since day one. It allowed her to stand out as well as her clients were more apt to pay a premium price for the service.

    Nothing would of or could of prepared me for today. Typically she may get five to ten calls a week from potential new clients, except on Tuesdays when the garden section runs in the paper and she gets around ten estimates on that day. So a typical week would have fifteen to twenty.

    Well everyone and their damn brother has been calling today and bitching up a storm about other companies not showing up. They want them replaced. I handle the phones for her while she is out in the field with the crews. At first I was just setting up estimates but the calls kept coming. So I started trying to weed some out by quoting out the per hour rate + 5.00 per man hour. Nobody is even price shy right now.

    It is currently 3:40 when I am making this post. It has taken me almost ten minutes to do so because of stopping to answer the phone. Right now she currently has thirty two estimates to do this week with over two thirds at the pre explained price point.

                  Possibly.

                  The damn downside and ironic part is despite that she pays damn high wages and other bennifits. It is almost impossible for her to find decent labor that will do the damn jobs. Has been since she started. It has been the double edged sword so to speak.

                  With this increase in business (most clients remain on year after year) another crew will be needed and it will be almost impossible to fill a crew that meets her standards, can do the job, can handle the job, and are not fucking lazy.

                                          So are you saying she may need to hire some Mexicans because she can't find enough "Americans" to do the job?

                                                          Sadly that has been her issue since she started with the whole American labor spin. Two of her best employees are legal mexicans (they did not strike either). Just about everyone else only lasts a season max and often quits or lags after a couple weeks.

                                                                      Nothing would of or could of prepared me for today. Typically she may get five to ten calls a week from potential new clients, except on Tuesdays when the garden section runs in the paper and she gets around ten estimates on that day. So a typical week would have fifteen to twenty.

                                                                      Well everyone and their damn brother has been calling today and bitching up a storm about other companies not showing up. They want them replaced. I handle the phones for her while she is out in the field with the crews. At first I was just setting up estimates but the calls kept coming. So I started trying to weed some out by quoting out the per hour rate + 5.00 per man hour. Nobody is even price shy right now.

                                                                      It is currently 3:40 when I am making this post. It has taken me almost ten minutes to do so because of stopping to answer the phone. Right now she currently has thirty two estimates to do this week with over two thirds at the pre explained price point.
                                                                      That is Crazy.

It is almost impossible for her to find decent labor that will do the damn jobs. Has been since she started. It has been the double edged sword so to speak.

                                                                                              With this increase in business (most clients remain on year after year) another crew will be needed and it will be almost impossible to fill a crew that meets her standards, can do the job, can handle the job, and are not fucking lazy.

                                                                                                      Actually anyone that can handle dealing with hard manual labor all day long day in and day out. Well hell it is not even that hard anymore due to the machines. Just so damn many people are so fucking beyond lazy that it does not even rate as funny. They feel entitled to a fifteen minute break every hour, they want to drag their ass and take thirty minutes to do something that takes ten. They tend to find the longest route possible between locations despite being given shortest route maps. They leave tools behind just so that can go pick them back up. They can not handle the simplist forms of paperwork without help. They take no initiative and need constant supervision on the job, if you do not point it out then explain it like you would to a child and then watch them they can not even get started.

                                                                                                      I am not to sure where everything went wrong. I just know that we need to either import some more midwesterners or find some more second generation mexican american workers who are fluent in english.

I have witnessed these crews first hand though and the damn chief just sits on his ass and directs the Mexicans. I am positive that is the only damn reason why they stay on the job. Plus we hired one once and he was one of the worst and laziest people we ever had. He was fired within two days.

It is almost impossible for her to find decent labor that will do the damn jobs. Has been since she started. It has been the double edged sword so to speak.

                                                                                                                                          With this increase in business (most clients remain on year after year) another crew will be needed and it will be almost impossible to fill a crew that meets her standards, can do the job, can handle the job, and are not fucking lazy.

As far as free estimates go we are not worried. We always call before showing up and I scheaduled them all starting on Wednesday. I just do not forsee to many of them changing their minds. The people up here are picky, want it their way, and you must never ever miss a day.

She has always have only used American labor and it has been advertised that way since day one. It allowed her to stand out as well as her clients were more apt to pay a premium price for the service.

                                                                                                                                                  Nothing would of or could of prepared me for today. Typically she may get five to ten calls a week from potential new clients, except on Tuesdays when the garden section runs in the paper and she gets around ten estimates on that day. So a typical week would have fifteen to twenty.

                                                                                                                                                  Well everyone and their damn brother has been calling today and bitching up a storm about other companies not showing up. They want them replaced. I handle the phones for her while she is out in the field with the crews. At first I was just setting up estimates but the calls kept coming. So I started trying to weed some out by quoting out the per hour rate + 5.00 per man hour. Nobody is even price shy right now.

                                                                                                                                                  It is currently 3:40 when I am making this post. It has taken me almost ten minutes to do so because of stopping to answer the phone. Right now she currently has thirty two estimates to do this week with over two thirds at the pre explained price point.
                                                                                                                                                  I think the damn illegals are going to get a good, old fasioned lesson about America and they sure deserve it. After all, they keep telling us how bad they want to be here, right? Well, I think the mexicans are going to learn the very important role scab workers play in a strike. If you dont do your job, someone else will.

                                                                                                                                                  Congrats on your windfall and thanks for supporting our country by hiring people who have a right to be here. Use the money to expand your crew and make your company stronger.

Many of our clients are as well then the rest are old school republicans (before christian hijacking of party, less government etc). Yet even the most liberal of clients stop the political view points the second it lands on their door step. Actually seems to work with all parties, everything is fine until it effects them and their personal plans.

How can you see the opposite end of the spectrum on this when he clearly said it's hard as hell to keep even well paid employees in that line of work? Mexicans have been doing lawn care, roofing, construction, farming, and dozens of other jobs that lazy Americans won't do for a long damn time. You think they are the ones that will get a wake-up call? I think it's the American public that wants their yard cut every week on time and at a low price.

How can you see the opposite end of the spectrum on this when he clearly said it's hard as hell to keep even well paid employees in that line of work? Mexicans have been doing lawn care, roofing, construction, farming, and dozens of other jobs that lazy Americans won't do for a long damn time. You think they are the ones that will get a wake-up call? I think it's the American public that wants their yard cut every week on time and at a low price.

That is the issue. We can not find people at 25 an hour. This is not a low paying job.

For a lot of people their home is their pride and joy, hell it is their fucking status symbol. If it was not cut today it will either need to be cut by the owners or they will have to wait a week. By next week the lawn will be about twice as high and you can only safely remove a third of the height at a time. So their yards look crappy for two weeks or they give up their one of their weekend days off and mow it themselves.

It's not like that everywhere as there is a limit to what people will pay. Either way it is a fact that there are many businesses that will not survive and would have never existed if it weren't for illegals. I wonder what % of the workforce in disaster areas is illegal? Lots of that in construction and getting them out will only prolong the problems even more. Imagine Florida after the hurricanes with even 20% less construction workers.

It sounds to me like she hires no mexicans at all (legal or not)? I always thought not hiring equally qualified workers from certain ethnicity/race is illegal?

After all, they keep telling us how bad they want to be here, right? Well, I think the mexicans are going to learn the very important role scab workers play in a strike. If you dont do your job, someone else will.

Whitey does not want to do physical labor! Whitey is lazy! Whitey does NOT want the jobs of Mexicans! How many white people do you know without jobs? Probably a few. Now ask yourself whether or not those people would be willing to do hard, back-breaking, physical labor... yeh, I didn't think so.
