Palermo's pizza hired, then fired people suspected of being illegals. Very odd. Of course, these people were fired after an ICE raid and after workers wanted to unionize.
I would say you called that right...its the big business way in this day and time to do that...close shop on the ones who built your company for you,sell out to a subsidiary and open back up scab under a different name and start bringing in the illegal aliens...hell,even the scab coal mines are doing it left and right around here and then raiding pensions on top of that.

They just shut the last union mine down around here when the non-union mine next to it got close enough to just mine into the same vein and keep going and now all you see in town are mexicans who can't speak a word of english and they are wearing mine bibs...wonder what that's all about?

You may add Brawny Paper Towels, a Georgia Pacific corporation {also} to your list, they are owned by none other than the union busting Koch Brothers.

What a huge achievement for mankind, loss of worker's rights for the ability to eat something that looks like food but is crap!

But keep in mind that when you do, this big money backer for large corporations hires illegals, and you might soon be out of work yourself, if you're gainfully employed. The Koch's believe in cheap labor, so, there you go.

You folks really fervently believe the Koch's are the devil, don't you? And what's funny, you don't pay any attention to the rampant economic devastation Obama is wreaking on this country, right in front of your faces! But it's all the Koch Brother's fault, right?

I don't appreciate what the Koch's did in Wisconsin, they basically paid to see Walker though for their agenda, no, I don't like any of them.
