Title: Workers (illegals protesting) Get Soaked by Pulte Homes!

this is the commentary on You Tube:

"The video shows Pulte representatives out of control—frustrated at workers demonstrating at construction sites within their developments. Pulte Homes then assaults them with high-pressure water from Pulte water trucks. As the housing market continues to sink in Florence and the rest of the metropolitan area, Pulte Homes dropped its good guy image when it came to the workers who build their homes.

Workers demanding justice from Pulte Homes' construction subcontractors were shocked when the well-know homebuilder began directing its water truck drivers to repeatedly douse workers with high-pressure water. Workers, with dripping clothes and soggy shoes, maintained their calm and continued their peaceful demonstration even as they counted up to 16 separate water assaults in one day. Israel Hernandez, a painter who worked on hundreds of Pulte/Del Webb homes in the Phoenix area, paused while wiping water from the video camera lens, remarking, "This wasn't what we meant when we ask for drinking water on the job site." (more) "

Get used to it. This is CORPORATIONS RULE law. Do not interfere with commerce, worker-bee.

Hmmm, let's see here...

People trespassing on private property refuse to leave. Property owner gets annoyed and ejects them.

Actually, that's how it should be - unless you think breaking and entering is a virtue.

Ummm. Interesting. Workers trespassing. How does that work? Curious, you know.

And if you note the man who said the words I quoted, he is stated to have worked on hundreds of homes, so I doubt that he is illegal. And if he is, there are existing laws about that, as I recall, which include fines, if applicable, and deportation PLUS, if they are enforced, fines for the company hiring him.

I also have a nephew (my wife's) working house construction in Arizona. Been there 10 years, married to a Latino from the states, completely legal and been that way for many years. So, this ain't all about illegals, thank you.

It seems to me that the issues go beyond what everyone here is stating, and, PROBABLY revolve around Pulte wanting to use more (cheaper) illegals now because of slumping home sales.

Of course, everyone probably better get used to THAT.

The companies that hired illegals in mass caused other employers to hire them cause they couldnt compete of course it's self destructive for as more and more illegals and H1B visa holders come more and more Americans lose work.. most of those H1B visa holders and illegals send most of their money home.. and most never buy homes they rent .. so the home builders soon wont have anyone to buy their homes..

The workers are not the owners of the property. If they're launching a protest, the owner has the absolute right to tell them to get lost or restrict their access to the job site. The employer also has the right to issue worksite rules detailing what employees can and cannot do on the worksite.

Its pretty cut-and-dried.

You'll note I'm not even bothering to address the immigration status of the workers; this is simply a property rights issue coupled with the employer's authority to regulate the activities of the employees.

A protest on a construction site is easily deemed "unsafe" and 'protesting' employees may be ejected for simple safety concerns.
