Hello.
2:20:58
My name is Sharon Brown.
2:21:00
Before I start, remember the hostages, release the hostages, let Yahweh's people go, defend Israel.
2:21:08
Okay.
2:21:09
The contracts have been very problematic.
2:21:15
People are getting paid handsomely and they're not fulfilling their contracts.
2:21:21
We need to find ways to make contracts with military, military veterans, military homeless homeless veterans and seniors.
2:21:31
We need to find those who are experts in these fields and give contracts to people who are worthy of these kind of things.
2:21:40
Some of the people that have vendors license could also try to go for some of these contracts.
2:21:46
There is a group called CPA or something like that and the Chinese community have been fighting with them over hospitality work.
2:21:58
They don't give them breaks.
2:22:01
They're working twenty four hour shifts.
2:22:03
They're not paying them accurately.
2:22:06
They should not have contracts if they continually abuse their workers.
2:22:11
So if they're violating the contracts and they're not paying fair wages, they should not have those contracts.
2:22:20
They should lose the contract even in the middle of the contract.
2:22:24
Maybe we should start writing in that if they are egregiously violating the contracts that it can be severed, we can have the law department or someone look into that because this situation has been going on for a long time.
2:22:38
I believe it's CPA or c CPA, the Chinese community has rallied about it and they have been having contract disputes, they have been having all kinds of different things about it and nothing's happening.
2:22:53
If it's happening with them, with people that hold contracts, it's happening on a larger scale.
2:22:59
We need to be meticulous and look over who we have with contracts and make sure they're fulfilling their contracts or sever them.
