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.

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.

Right now she has to hope that at least a third of these people will bow out and not accept the estimates or just be one time jobs.
She is already running two crews 6 days a week 8am to 5pm and if 2/3rds of these stick it will be 8am to 7pm. She just can not find enough damn labor even at 25.00 an hour.

Another crew can mean taking on another 60-80 clients a week. That is like an additional 3500.00 a week. I know she could get the clients just can not get or keep the damn labor.

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.

Wow, that sounds like a serious issue then. Maybe you guys need to find some eastern european help and tell them not to talk to anyone so that clients think it's still 100% USA workers.

BTW people want their yard cut every week on time and well low price does not matter as much. That is the issue. We can not find people at 25 an hour. This is not a low paying job.

Doesn't she kinda run a racist operation? 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?

Have you read the thread at all? 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.
