Article Idea:

The current labor situation between Lohr Distributing and Teamsters Local 600 has already garnered much attention, but there are aspects of this dispute that are interesting and that have not been covered adequately in the press. There is a growing influx of foreign workers into the Midwest. Employers hiring such individuals have many challenges and issues to overcome, including complying with the immigration laws while not violating the civil rights laws. More importantly, many American workers resent the fact their employer is hiring foreign individuals rather than giving these opportunities to American workers.
