Family Dollar, a large national discount retailer, has been in the news recently for various reasons. Most notably, it was revealed that Family Dollar had been hiring temporary workers from the H-2B visa program.
This has raised numerous ethical and legal questions about the company’s practices.
In response to the outcry, Family Dollar released a statement clarifying that it only hires workers from the H-2B visa program “as a last resort” and that it only hires workers for “short-term, seasonal work.”
However, the company’s statement does not address the ethical and legal questions that have been raised. For example, does Family Dollar have a policy of only hiring workers from the H-2B visa program when it can’t find any other workers? If so, is that a fair policy? And what are the consequences of violating this policy?
These are all questions that need to be answered. In the meantime, it is important to keep in mind that the company’s statement does not address the underlying ethical and legal concerns.
Thus, it is still possible that Family Dollar is using the H-2B visa program in unethical or illegal ways.
Ultimately, it is important to be vigilant when it comes to big companies like Family Dollar. They can and often do wield a lot of power, and it is important to be sure that they are using it ethically and responsibly.
