He said the workers ‘don’t look like they came from anywhere near the neighborhood’
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg focused on racial disparities in construction during a Monday conference, claiming that construction sites are not employing local workers in minority communities and outsourcing to White people.
During the National Association of Counties Conference, Buttigieg urged those in attendance to work with their contractors and community colleges to build a workforce that reflects the community.
“We have heard way too many stories from generations past of infrastructure where you got a neighborhood, often a neighborhood of color, that finally sees the project come to them, but everyone in the hard hats on that project, doing the good paying jobs, don’t look like they came from anywhere near the neighborhood,” Buttigieg said.
So if there is not enough well trained construction workers available – then nothing gets built? Bootyjig is that what you are saying? Look within your community to find workers that reflects the community?
Ok, I went out – didn’t find workers (who reflected their community demo) available that were trained in what I needed. So I’m restricted now? Nope – construction group bid, was selected and business was done/paid. Not my problem everyone trained and not of color.
UNITED states of America. We are not a nation of quota’s.
so if you’re white you work in white neighborhoods, if you’re black you work in black neighborhoods, if you’re mexican………………. and if you refuse to work you don’t work in any neighborhood
Hey,. Butter Butt. go on home to your husband and nurse your baby!
maybe they wanted the jobs to get done correctly
Wow, the same white people (Democrats) who have been engineering blacks to “not work” by farming votes with handouts are now blaming the white people who actually have no choice but to work for taking their jobs. Unreal!
Brilliant felchie-boy!
NO the Biden ILLEGALS are taking the JOBS !!!!! Get that STRAIGHT !!!!!
Businesses want quality work on their projects that will last a lifetime, not half assed work. Bottom line, whites have the skills blacks don’t care to learn. This is coming from someone that has worked in the construction trade for 40 years.
