What's up with spamming 6-7 websites with this BS about Calfee. It explicitly states that the workers are documented so what's your beef?

Yet, according to an article by Fred Dreier in the Velo News Buyer’s Guide, Calfee states he hires documented Mexican workers instead of Americans. To get past the language barrier, his production managers act as interpreters. “I now rely on the current (predominantly Mexican) staff to recruit new workers.”..”We started out with American-born production workers, but we had trouble with turnover, theft, and erratic attendance”. <BR/><BR/>So much for keeping Americans at work at a living wage by<BR/>buying American. What good is accomplished by repealing NAFTA if American companies won’t even hire Americans??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-18765828928682495342008-02-25T21:48:00.000-05:002008-02-25T21:48:00.000-05:00Brilliant.Brilliant.Campy10https://www.blogger.com/profile/02559522185125977851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-61611748274945787622008-02-25T12:13:00.000-05:002008-02-25T12:13:00.000-05:00snob you herzog hag.cipo as the ugliest male model...snob you herzog hag.<BR/>cipo as the ugliest male model was too funny - but you went too lightly on calfee - you should have grilled that turd.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-1446058423089423692008-02-25T09:59:00.000-05:002008-02-25T09:59:00.000-05:00All kidding aside...some riders where going hypoth...All kidding aside...some riders where going hypothermic due to the combination of horizontal rain and wind creeping into their best wet-wear.

Multi day races are demanding, and lots of things can happen to ruin the race. <BR/>This may not be a goal race for a lot of teams because its so early in the year. So there may not be a big urge to perform. They may be using it to see what kind of shape everybody is in.<BR/>Also if a rider is peaking for a race later in the season then sometimes the manager will suggest they dropout to avoid interruptions to their training due to an injury or prolonged recovery. They don't always say why a rider has dropped out. He could have a bloody abcess on his ass, not be able to keep food down, a nagging muscle injury, etc. Remember they usually try to race all season. Also if the rider is unable to make any sort of contribution because the team is too low in standings or he is just fried then you can just rest him. Just like if a QB hurts his wrist or elbow you may pull him out of the game so he can play later.<BR/>I find it part of the drama to see who finshes a race. All racers have withdrawn at some point. <BR/><BR/>Remember cycling is a socialist euro douchebag sport. Its kinda like being in a Labor Union. You get up at 9:00 start working at 11:00 and if you don't feel good you go home early.broomiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01706044834787351189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-39572397226833227712008-02-24T14:00:00.000-05:002008-02-24T14:00:00.000-05:00I had along post prepared but i'll stick to the br...I had along post prepared but i'll stick to the brief version.<BR/><BR/>Miriam made a very ignorant statement. <BR/>nyahh.broomiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01706044834787351189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-70590092773080050352008-02-24T03:05:00.000-05:002008-02-24T03:05:00.000-05:00vegaskid didn't miss out on the sands conversation...vegaskid didn't miss out on the sands conversation. he also pointed out that demolition.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-83964456893942046112008-02-24T02:55:00.000-05:002008-02-24T02:55:00.000-05:00somewhere a kitten died.somewhere a kitten died.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-71974984531048013392008-02-24T02:53:00.000-05:002008-02-24T02:53:00.000-05:00Calfee surely fashioned rims by lashing together r...Calfee surely fashioned rims by lashing together ribs from the horse, duh!
