Advocates call for removal of machines and demand that company speak out against ICE raids in parking lots
A Home Depot in Los Angeles installed three high pitch noise-emitting machines outside to deter day laborers from seeking work there, causing them to suffer headaches and nausea, advocates alleged at a press conference on Wednesday.
The Instituto de Educacion Popular del Sur de California (IDEPSCA), an advocacy organization that helps day laborers, called for the removal of these machines from Home Depot’s Cypress Park location, according to the Los Angeles Times
Advocates for day laborers also demanded that Home Depot speak out against ICE raids in store parking lots. Immigration enforcement agents have repeatedly targeted the Cypress Park location, which is located near one of IDEPSCA’s support hubs, the Times reported.
Hardware store specifically? Which is not what your original comment said: parking lot.
Yeah: China. India. From basic web searches those appear to be parking lots and transit stations. They gather in mass to be picked up for day labor. Construction, warehouse work, etc.
BASIC INTERNET SEARCHING
Just admit you don’t know anything outside of Finland.
I mean I’ve only visited 15 countries and worked in 4. What would I know. You’ve what, searched this thing so I assume this is new knowledgw to you too that it happens elsewhere. And here you are shitting on me for not knowing this is a thing. That’s funny.
You visited 15 countries and worked in four yet you didn’t pay attention to anything while you were there outside of your own little bubble. That’s funny. Then when you are presented with the idea of day laborers, it’s something you can’t possibly fucking understand, and you dismiss the wealth of information online, falling back to your experience must be the only experience.
That’s not just funny, that’s hilarious.
I’m sure you know those countries hire people from the parking lots better than someone who lived and worked there, despite not knowing even which countries I’m talking about. I think that says it all, really.
Right. Your experience is limited, as you said. I’m glad we agree. Goodbye
I mean I hadn’t heard of the practice of hiring people from parking lots, yeah. That was sorta the whole reason I asked the comment section about it. But you are assuming everywhere must have the practice and people not knowing about it must be rich, not realizing not everywhere has that practice. (I mean tbh pretty sure you just assumed I was American, because of course)
I had limited experience and asked about it, you came in hot calling me names because you didn’t know better.
