this has turned into quite the thread.
But theyre cheap.lol.every landscaper around here oowns a bunch of em now,2 yrs ago not 1 in site .They pay for food and board and good to go.I personally hate them doing my laawn because i cant friggin talk to em ,or they dont want too listen ,when im trying to tell em dont cut the tulips as they are with the weedwacker.lol.Y do they come up here i always wonder if texas is so full of good payin jobs?Not trying to be racial so dont take it that way ,just curious.Ive had some of the owners tell me because they want a better life.Im suuure theyre not all that way ,its just all we see up here ,for mexis is landscapers and horsewalkers.Y do they come to the north if its all plentiful down theyre?And i agree with barn ,id rather try too have a sunday off or with my family when i can ,ill pay 65 buks a week for that.although with this economy ive cut down to every 2 weeks.and yes i have 2 acres,lots of flowers too get weeded,and beds to get mulched.
I am not beeing racial.fyi ,just curious.

OOO i see ,s o really even tho you guys have a great economy theyres just too many.ya know one of my sherwin williams reps moved up here and said that the pay was less than half what were paying up here,and the quality was way low compared too ours also.due to the cheap labor cost,and unskilled workers theyre not getting the quality.My company does very high end work and he was beggin me to follow him back when his term was up ,here,but i said y would i go were im getting half the goin rate?Im seeing the other guys talking about not liking the unions up here but wouldnt that raise the bar on quality if the mexis are doing just any job to get a pay check?I guess im saying if it was regulated alittle wouldnt the quality be better?idk,im not union or non,but seems like a good idea to me for this issue anyway.I havent seen this first hand ive only heard about the shabby work they do.But the same up here ,theyre only buyin the mexis for cheap/unskilled labor and working them to death.I kinda feel bad when i see them landscaping for 16 hrs a day.
Unions have NOTHING to do with quality
Should show some of the welds on my 1989 Mustang proudly done by UAW member
Look like put down with a caulking gun by half blind one armed person.
No ,what im sayin is ,i would think that union would hire skilled labor.at the level they are ,from laborers to say top end welders and catorigize them maybe.not put a welder in a beaners hands,i would hope.again im know nothing about union,i would think tho that they would caterogize them alittle.or someone take control and put em were they shoould be if not for any reason but safety.
:yawn:
:spit::LOL:
Unions only job is to hire more people to do less work. My mother is in the union and they play dominos more than they work on a government installation under government contract. Making 30 or more an hour. Costing my tax dollars. I am not for a Union.
