Advocates call for removal of machines and demand that company speak out against ICE raids in parking lots
A Home Depot in Los Angeles installed three high pitch noise-emitting machines outside to deter day laborers from seeking work there, causing them to suffer headaches and nausea, advocates alleged at a press conference on Wednesday.
The Instituto de Educacion Popular del Sur de California (IDEPSCA), an advocacy organization that helps day laborers, called for the removal of these machines from Home Depot’s Cypress Park location, according to the Los Angeles Times
Advocates for day laborers also demanded that Home Depot speak out against ICE raids in store parking lots. Immigration enforcement agents have repeatedly targeted the Cypress Park location, which is located near one of IDEPSCA’s support hubs, the Times reported.
Not the rich kid. More like the government/republikidfucker plant. Notice how every post he made has some mentioning of under the table or off the books or without a permit? He’s trying to get ideas planted about how these workers are shoddy and doing illegal things and undercutting real, licensed, above board workers.
Funny how some of you think it’s more likely I’m some government spy instead of not being an American. Get your head out of your ass, the rest of the world exists too.
I think we are just surprised you know so little about the rest of the world.
Yes how dare I not know about the home depot workers in the Los Angeles. Fucking hell. Get over yourself and realize the rest of the world might work differently to you
It’s about how you can’t comprehend undocumented immigrants finding cash work as day labor. Just shows you live in an isolated bubble.
I could comprehend it just fine when someone explained it. I’ve just never heard of this hanging around in parking lot to get work thing before so I was asking what the deal was. What a bubble to live in, not knowing about some Yank thing.
Like fuck off dude, stop assuming everyone is American and knows everything about the US. Rest of the world exists too. And you are saying I live in isolated bubble lol
I never made an assumption of your location.
Day laborers exist in every country, even Finland, the method of hiring them and the popular industries vary from place to place. In the US, day laborers that work construction and landscape usually hang out at stores that sell those things.
This type of work is popular among undocumented people, because it usually pays cash and no one asks many questions. Curiously, the number of undocumented people in the United States is estimated to be almost 150% of the entire population of your tiny little backwater country.
It is very clear that your bubble does not extend beyond Finland… And I would suspect even more likely not to the end of your block.
You just assumed I had to be rich for not knowing in the US people hire random people in the parking lot of some store. Very reasonable, especially if you didn’t assume I was already somehow familiar with this custom.
Yeah I assumed you had no experience with the working human… I was very wrong. You have no understanding outside of Finland. Which btw is 0.20% on the land surface on earth. I’m not sure which is worse.
