Local Hispanic immigrants risking injury, death to work By Nancy L. Othón
and Mike Clary, South Florida Sun-Sentinel
'If I'm [using] a subcontractor, there is no way for me to know if the labor he brings onto the job from a leasing company is insured,' said homebuilder Bruce Malasky, president of the Goldcoast Builders Association in West Palm Beach. 'And if there is larceny in their blood, they are going to get you.'
OSHA area director Luis R. Santiago said employers continue to use illegal labor because they know the workers will not talk or complain and will follow instructions.
'It is Mexican workers getting killed. They are doing the most dangerous jobs,' Santiago said.------------------------------------------- posted 12:21 PM :: reference link ::
