Six immigrant workers are presumed dead after Tuesday's bridge collapse in Baltimore. Journalist @maximillian_alv says the disaster shows the crucial role of immigrants in many dangerous jobs. "We are not coming to this country to ruin it," he says. "We're workers just like you."
@democracynow @maximillian_alv Can you add “Hispanic workers” so the listeners can be more educated about their horrible working situation and why they left their native countries?
@democracynow @maximillian_alv Were these legal immigrants with work visas or were they, and their employer, breaking federal & state labor laws?
@democracynow @MatthewStover7 @maximillian_alv "We're just like you."
My son is a hard working Construction worker who also worked on bridges and is a member of the Carpenters Union. Sadly these Companies are hiring migrants because they are cheap labor and do not have Union protection. My son stated to me that when he worked on bridges they had a harness and steeled toed boots and hard hats but the day laborers were not required to have protective gear. He said they had many needless deaths of these workers. Think about that when making negative statements about American Workers. They are hiring them for the same reason they have them in the fields. I don't blame the workers it is the Corporate Capitalist who line their pockets at the expense of the workers. I do blame the media for covering for these billion dollar Corporations!
@democracynow @maximillian_alv That bridge accident was a stage play 👀👀👀
@democracynow @maximillian_alv Just wait, it'll turn out to be a black captain or harbormaster and Amy G will drop this story like a brick of lead.
