Temp hire company to kill existing workers to place more workers

[Glass]

This is just another innovation from Australia. An excellent idea if you ask me. Basically to place more casual and short term temp workers in jobs, this company will kill existing employees or short term temps that they place with employers in order that they can supply more workers and get more placements.

Then they can obviously get more Govt welfare in the form of placement fees. Pure genius.

This is the type of assine thinking that passes for intelligence when a society is caught in the dreaded postive feedback loop

It can only end in a crackup boom.

Here in Alberta there are about 50,000 migrant workers. I always see them at Tim Horton's (coffee shop) or McDonalds, although I am sure they use them other places as well. The cover story is that they can't find enough Canadian's to fill the positions. Of course the real reason is they could find Canadians to fill these positions if they paid more but they want to pay minimum wage. They also have an edge up on privately owned coffee shops because the paperwork to use migrant labor is probably a real headache and not worth it if you only need 1 or 2 but if you need a few thousand..... So the small coffee shops have to pay locals $15 an hour while the big chains pay $9 or whatever the min wage is now plus the migrants probably don't give the owners as much grief as spoiled Canadians.

When you think about it though this really distorts the job market and keeps prices for fast food down. Plus the migrants send lots of that money home so it is being drained from the local economy.

I can see this type of business model starting to creep into the construction industry which is a real shame because even unskilled labor can make $20+ an hour as long as they work hard. At a jobsite a few years back there was a whole crew of Turks doing stucco that didn't speak a lick of english except the foreman and they were doing 12 hour days. Caused a lot of grief too because if the foreman wasn't around and you tried to find out where they would be stuccoing next or something they couldn't understand.
