TAKE OUR JOBS

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Facing growing anti-immigrant rhetoric, the United Farm Workers union is challenging Americans to take their labor-intensive, low-paying farm jobs.

As communities nationwide grapple with tenacious unemployment, migrant workers are often accused of stealing jobs from Americans. The union believes this accusation is without basis, and intends to demonstrate this with a newly-launched campaign called "Take Our Jobs."

"Farm workers do the work that most Americans are not willing to do," said union president Arturo Rodriguez in the announcement of the campaign.

At least half a million applicants are needed to replace the immigrant workforce, so the union has posted an online application for Americans who want to work on a farm.

Through its Web site, at www.takeourjobs.org, the union promises to connect applicants with farm jobs in their area.

Since June 24, at least 4,000 people have responded to the application, said Rodriguez. Some are serious responses and others are hate mail. "Only a few dozen have really followed through with the process," he said.

Most applicants quickly lose interest once the reality sinks in that these are back-breaking jobs in triple-digit temperatures that pay minimum wage, usually without benefits, according to the union. Some small farms are not required to pay minimum wage and in 15 states farms aren't required to offer workers' compensation.

i think you'll find that the govt doesn't crack down on employers with illegals on their payrolls. said workers pay into the ss system, with no hope of ever recouping that money.
however, companies who pay under the table can expect to be raided. cash money means no money to uncle sam, and uncle sam doesn't like that.

As long as people continue to be paid for not working, this cannot be taken seriously.

No. At least you didn't hurt or kill some one.

Those littering unemployment lines?

Let's see ... workers, like you, purchase insurance through payroll deductions, as do their employers. Then if workers are laid off through no fault of their own, that insurance gives them a stipend so they don't starve to death.

You know, like if you made $100K a year, you get $300, $350 a week. Wow, let's hope we get laid off to rake that free cash in! LOL! All those payroll deductions we've paid over our lifetime of working sure cashes out great!

Most people who are "littering unemployment lines" are not happy to be there. There is always a baseline unemployment. The numbers are far above that. And it's not due to some mass contagious infection with lethargy and laziness that has suddenly infected hundreds of thousands of people.

Found guilty and awarded 24 years in prison, but deported after verdict so we don't have to pay for it.

Deported so she can find her way back into this country again? I agree with the 24 years of prison time.

Very true what you just said. People have no problem bragging that they make more collecting unemployment than if they had a job yet nothing gets done about it. Wait something did. Unemployment benefits got extended. Way to reward some of the trash.

You want us to pay for incarcerating illegals? Worse jails in Mexico.
