Mexican Worker Tips

Thanks for coming back to check things out. I hope you've used this information to take respectful win-win action. Make it a Great Day! Emeric

My uncle Esgardo Leon was a Mexican guestworker.

Uncle Esgardo came to the U.S. during WWII.  The guestworker program was called the Bracero Program.  Although there were documented abuses against many Mexican guestworkers, uncle Esgardo didn’t have any complaints.

The Bracero program wasn’t perfect, but Uncle Esgardo told my dad the Americans treated him well and paid him well. They RESPECTED him.   Uncle Esgardo merely wanted to send money home to help the family.

Reminder: Respect is the foundation for your success with your Mexican workers.

To Your Success,

Please hit me in the forehead with a trenching shovel. Better yet, whip my bare-back with a string trimmer.  Ahhh. Thanks. 

This article should be titled H-2B: Obama’s Labor Pleasure.   Here’s why.

I just received an email from U.S. Immigration , and I’m editing , “an immigration bill would likely get proposed for all the illegals by end of ’09, but because guest worker programs (like H-2B) take jobs from U.S. citizens, any legislation is unlikely to include favorable guest worker legislation.”

Regardless of whether you use H-2B or not, are they saying the millions of illegals don’t take jobs from U.S. citizens, but the tiny population of guest workers do? I thought Americans won’t do any of these jobs?

I forgot, pardon me for not letting my Berkeley education speak out, illegals and guest workers aren’t allowed to do the same kind of work. Furthermore, Americans relish the opportunity to work at the same exact jobs as a legal H-2B guest worker.

 Hold my forehead while I vomit. Do they think we are that stupid?

Last time I checked with my Green Industry clients, no one had a parking lot full of Americans looking for work.

Furthermore, I read our Nation’s largest labor unions A.F.L.-C.I.O. and “Change to Win” launched their Obama Immigration support a couple of weeks ago and are now officially in bed with Obama.  As if they weren’t already having a victory cigarette. Blowing smoke at the true Green Industry and small businesses like you and me.

Of course, if you’re an H-2B user, you already know the labor unions hate your guts because they aren’t getting a piece of that action…so you must be an evil employer…maybe even a Reaganite!

Even if you’re a Lib, please explain what’s going on. I’ll put the comment up so everyone can understand. Come on, let’s hold the truth stick together. No bongs though. Those poor, albeit fun, choices stayed in my Berkeley college days.

So…are we preparing the table for the next generation of union entitlement?

Here’s your tip. I’ve personally experienced over the past 20+ years:

“You can take the Mexican out of Mexico, but you can’t take Mexico out of the Mexican.” That means at least 97% of the respectful tips I give you will still be effective to manage your Mexican worker teams, no matter what.

This important “heads up” is quick and important.

Cut the limes, serve the salt, and have a shot. The Mexican Battle against the French is celebrated on 5 May (Cinco de Mayo), remembering the victory of Mexican forces over the French invaders in the hills near the city of Puebla in 1862.

It took the French a year to bring reinforcements and take the Mexican capital in 1863.

Cinco de Mayo is an important symbol of national sovereignty and parades are held throughout the country.

Here in the U.S., it’s a great excuse to knock back a couple of peer-pressure induced shots of tequila.  Actually, a Margarita on the rocks sounds kinda tasty. Toss in chips and salsa.

Your workers know about Cinco de Mayo. So keep an eye out to see who’s dragging the morning of the 6th.

Salud!
