Imagine how quickly legislators would enact change if the trades unions to include HVAC joined the protest and began striking. You can only sit inside of a 90f building for so long.
One : they need to do that
Two : the legislators would pass a law forcing them back to work.
The beatings will continue until moral improves.
"ok senator, your discombobulation valve has gone out, is going to cost you about $200,000"
cool, I'm residental now.
In the case of my old call center, that's about 3 months.
I suspect that they, like the illegal immigrant laborers, will be better off just leaving Florida.
Ikr, surely "don't be excessively cruel to the piece-workers who make the agricultural industry price competitive" would be a better strategy? Is this going to end up like brexit where next minute you've got a load of farmers wanting a bailout cos it turns out noone wants to be paid less than minimum wage to get heat stroke picking fruit or whatever?
That's a hell of a lot harder than it sounds if you're poor.
…and what party do Latinos in Florida vote for?
They mostly vote Republican, so they like working in unsafe conditions.
Why would they vote republican?
I’m not doubting you, just curious as to how they are targeted for votes. Like they realise the party hates them right.
If anything, I don't get why people assume Latino communities are left leaning, other than defaulting to expectation that minority=dem votes. Latinos tend to be conservative af, many are religious, still have very traditional views like wives stay in the kitchen cooking and cleaning, bootstrap mentality, anti handouts, call poor people lazy, etc. Like it's clear as day that Latino communities are right leaning if you spend any time around them.
Then you have the anti Castro Cuban population especially that always have the "I didn't leave a communist country just to be part of another one" response whenever leftist social policies try to get implemented in Florida, and if something ever does pass, they go around all "this is Cuba all over again!" and scare the populace
Thanks for the insight.
I’ve spend zero time around Latinos. From the UK so we don’t have that large of a community.
Ah fair enough then. A lot of Americans who don't live around Latin communities have the same misconception. But yeah, they align pretty strongly with white conservative Christians in almost all areas, biggest difference is there's better food around lol
Kinda crazy to me but everything you said makes sense.
Aside from the religious aspect. I guess it shows the power of the media.
Many of them are Cuban and are either from the generation of or descended from people who fled Cuba when Batista was ousted, so they've clung onto the Republican party for being "anti-Communist." And some of those people are rich and control Spanish-language media in the area, which converts others. Not to mention just good old word-of-mouth.
Then, on top of that, there are the inroads evangelical Christians are making with Latinos.
Because gawd or something equally stupid.
The dems are communist, you left a communist country to come here. Do you want this country to turn into a communist country as well?
Forgetting or ignoring that there is NO left of centre in the good 'ol USofA. Your choices are right of centre or extreme right.
