USATODAY.com - Illegal workers found at La. base: "Navy spokesman Lt. (j.g.) Sean Robertson said that 13 individuals had been barred from the base. Neither he nor Zuieback could explain the discrepancy between the numbers.Does Chertoff know about this? No exceptions was the story last week.
The action came amid growing complaints from area electricians who say they lost their jobs at the base to lower-wage workers.
Robert 'Tiger' Hammond, president of the Greater New Orleans AFL-CIO, said about 75 union electricians lost their jobs after the Bush administration temporarily suspended the Davis-Bacon Act, which guarantees the prevailing local wage for workers hired under federal contracts.
It was unclear who employed the undocumented workers. Zuieback would not give the name of the employer. Robertson said they worked for BE&K, an Alabama-based contractor, and Texas-based BMS Catastrophe."
Money. We have ours, don't particularly care how you get yours. And they want to know why grown kids still need their parents help to survive in today's economy.
