Apparently some FEMA contractors or people working for FEMA contractors are going around the country recruiting laborers to clean up the mess on the Gulf Coast. While I'd rather see the restoration and rebuilding work given to the hurricane victims, I can understand that many of the victims may not yet be able to work. But the work must get done. Hence, the recruiting effort.
The problem I have with this effort concerns some lowlife recruiters who either supply inhuman shelter (e.g., tents but no toilets or running water) to the workers or expect the Red Cross to put up these workers. For example, one worker recruited from New Jersey thought he'd be getting $120 a day plus housing. What he got when he was far from home was $80 a day and a possibility of being housed at a Red Cross shelter, which was designed to house the victims.
What kind of people would stoop so low?
