As an aside, I’ve seen this happen elsewhere as well. Classic play for wage theft. When I was working as a bartender in London to make ends meet, I had a coworker from Mexico on an expired visa. Great guy and the most hardworking. Well won’t you guess it, guy got picked up by immigration authority on payday.

People like this manager hire undocumented immigrants because they can pay them less and they can abuse them under the threat of deportation. Are you suggesting an inconsistency in his behavior? Majority of immigrants do enter at ports of entry actually, and furthermore, go fuck yourself.
I’d rather people who say shit like your comment be deported, if I supported any sort of deportations.

You don’t really know what any of that means lol
Apparently the wealthy couldn’t keep us under control by threatening homelessness, starvation and loss of healthcare - now they have to threaten to fucking deport us if we don’t bend the knee to their miniature dictatorships.
Well, of course they do. They’re cringe-ass losers!
If that manager gets murdered behind the warehouse, that’s just karma.
This is specifically why historically reporting your exploitation has been a path to citizenship for illegal/legal immigrants in the united states. It wasn’t a well known endeavor though , and I doubt it’s functioning has continued
Start calling ICE on Trump supporters.
Ain’t gonna work in Maggie’s farm no more …
Fail to see how this is different to how when people called the Gestapo when they didn’t like their neighbours.
Or called them witches
You gotta keep that reserve army of labor in line
I’m not doubting the events of that London story, but under UK law knowingly employing illegal workers is an unlimited fine plus 5 years jail time, and even employing one by mistake after not doing the correct checks is up to a £60,000 fine, so it was deliberate than it was quite a gamble…
I couldn’t tell you. This is almost 20 years ago now and I know my colleague disappeared from one day to the next after payday.
Ah right, the rules changed about 10 years ago.
I believe this opens him up to a civil suit, even if the government won’t pursue.
I’ve always found it strange that it’s considered illegal to work here as a non-citizen but the punishment always falls on the guy doing the work, not the guy who hired him instead of someone legal.
The more I’ve lived to see the way things go, the more I’ve come around to the idea that maybe the commies were on to something. Maybe struggle sessions were the least some people deserve.
Well, you are in an anarchist comm ;)
It seems many newcommers are not aware of this blatant fact. It outstands me when they think being bourgeoisie friendly is tolerated in this network.
As much as Capitalism has problems, Communism just has different ones.
Both caused by selfish people.
Manager better be locking his door, replacing windows with walls, and getting armed security that goes with the everywhere.
If my manager pulled this shit, the manager would no longer have a home or vehicle by the following morning. Whether they get caught inside the house doesn’t matter.

obvious insecurities“an argument” deserves to have their own life destroyed.Right, but Americans don’t actually do what you’re suggesting. They just sit there and take it because they’re terrified of losing their shitty jobs that they hate.
They wouldn’t be manager in the first place…. Managers are cops for the bourgeoisie.
Eh,my current manager was under me prior to a change in teams. I didn’t go for that position because I hate management. He’s still a great guy who largely lets me work however I need to, and shields me from upper management. I like having good managers who can be a buffer between me (tech) and upper management who don’t exactly understand what I do.
“Not all
menmanagers”But yeah, it’s interesting when a friend gets promoted to management. We like when they keep their working class roots top of mind, and it’s great when one does. Many of us try it once or twice. But the first time that layoff convo comes down from on high, you find the fuck out they care more about their own standing in the system than putting workers first. Cops and managers - I ain’t trying to be either.
Definitely fair, and no argument against. Though, in both instances that I got laid off, it was on the 5th round of layoffs, and my bosses (who I got along with both times) got laid off before me in the 4th round. In addition, at one of the companies I was friends with the person who cut access and all, and they kept it secret from even her until the day after taking her phone and keeping them in a locked room. Both times someone either way up the chain or from HR delivered the news, so not sure the bosses would have even came into the convo, had they not already been canned anyway
Did they gain more money than you, or were the fruits of your labor divided equally to your yields?
If not the latter, you were exploited to work for the owners of the business. There’s senior syndicalism, and there’s bourgeoisie exploiters.
I’ll await until you finish reading David Graeber’s Bullshit Jobs: A Theory 2018. Debt: The First 5,000 Years is just as good.
I don’t know for sure, but I’m paid pretty high here comparatively for the company (I get paid less than I should for the actual experience and position, but it’s a smaller company that pays everyone less), and I know I got paid more than some of my previous managers here while I was under them. I was also paid like 20k more than someone who started 2 years before me.
It’s more the previous owners negotiated directly with each hire and I knew what I was worth more than they did.
I’m glad you realized you were all exploited by the bourgeoisie. Now please do the homework I listed you, so you realize how much further everyone is being exploited through the theft that is money.
And why didn’t anyone report that company for employing illegal immigrants?
Would probably be far more effective. Punish the employer for not taking reasonable checks. Are they paying tax correctly?
It’s crazy. Growing up I was shown so many images of so many people arriving by the boat load at Ellis Island and taught how America is a melting pot and how that’s a good thing and our strength.
