Foreign workers are undercutting workers with "cabotage"?

Lol. It's a nice narrative. When things don't go right in the industry, that's the first thing they always go to. It's really lazy thinking by this news outlet.

 

Not interested in watching/listening to videos but will commend you for your news source.

Don’t get me wrong, if that was a women’s beach volleyball video I’d watch it all day long

What does it hurt for them to work in the US?? Whos going to move the freight without them? They are just trying to provide a living for their families in another country.

 

Would be nice to see some data on documented violations..so far I’ve seen nothing but speculation about it happening on a large scale.

Anyone got a source showing actual cases of the illegal activity?

Because it’s illegal.
Cabotage laws cover Airlines land and sea and are in place to protect domestic jobs.

Imagine if airlines were able to ignore these laws we’d have no more domestic airlines.

 

why don't they work in their own country? Why can't these people, lo these many years (think Africa) get their stuff together???? I mean, seriously. We've been sending money to these countries for longer than I've been alive (I'm 65), yet they're all dysfunctional. Where / when does it stop?
The cartels in Mexico are bigger and stronger than the military......yet nothing is done. You want to know why nothing is done?? Because everyone is on the payroll. Simple as that.
Provide a living for your family in your own country. Just like I did.

 

They are merely discussing the “controversy” (please see first opening sentence)

They have sourced assertions by the ATA as an example.

I have linked the article if you prefer to read than watch a video. Personally I comprehend better from reading.
