All the people in the jail system, all the people not doing nothing on the streets and we depend on international workers to pick our food. Pathetic. On top of that they get treated like garbage. Once again pathetic.

Ya we ve all seen how some of these people drive on the roads and cause big accidents

Stop hiring foreign workers.

Did they sign a contract before they began their employment? Did they read the details of the contract ? It would be interesting to see the details.

Temporary foreign workers are here to do the jobs we don't want to. In trucking you start out with crap trucking Jobs. Then you work your way up to the jobs these guys are talking about. Those jobs don't need temporary foreign workers. They pay well and are sought after

That is literally what the job is. I've been in the trucking industry for over three decades. If you don't like it then you have to either stay with that company for a decade or so or find a trucking job in a different industry.
