Publix Gets Publicity For Hiring Foreign Students
Publix Gets Publicity For Hiring Foreign Students

The popular supermarket chain Publix received publicity over their hiring
practices when a Fort Myers, Florida newspaper revealed that "Publix hires
foreign workers." [By Amy Bennett Williams, News-Press.Com, January 19, 2010]
Here are a few choice excerpts from the article [links after
commentary]:
For the last three years, Publix has hired hundreds of Peruvians and
Brazilians for its stores in south Fort Myers and Naples during tourist season
because the company says it can t find locals to fill those spots.
The South American cashiers, baggers, deli, bakery and grocery clerks work
part time at more than 20 area locations, said Publix spokeswoman Shannon
Patten. The company began hiring them in late 2008, when Lee s unemployment
was about 6 percent.
Lee County s unemployment rate is almost 14 percent and about 38,000
residents are jobless,
The Publix workers, who are forbidden to speak to the press, have short-
term visas known as J1s and are college students, Patten said.
Although numbers aren t broken down by county, there are 7,756 J1 visa-
holders in Florida, said U.S. State Department spokeswoman Darlene Kirk. The
department calls it an "Exchange Visitor Program," allowing foreign college
students to "become directly involved in the daily life of the people of the
United States through travel and temporary work." Publix doesn t reciprocate
in the exchange.
"Since our students come from the southern hemisphere," Patten said,
"their summer break coincides nicely with our winter tourist season. These
students are not replacing American workers."
Patten is playing with words because common sense would dictate that even if
Publix hasn t directly replaced local Floridians they have most certainly
displaced them by denying them job offers. Florida is suffering a 14% jobless
rate so there should be no question there are many Americans who would take
these jobs. This is just one example of a Floridian that needs a job at
Publix:
The South American cashiers, baggers, deli, bakery and grocery clerks work
part time at more than 20 area locations, said Publix spokeswoman Shannon
Patten. The company began hiring them in late 2008, when Lee s unemployment
was about 6 percent.
"It is our experience that potential workers that live year round near
our stores are interested in permanent jobs, not temporary ones,"
Patten said.
Many Southwest Florida jobseekers and the people who help them disagree.
"Are you kidding?" asked Rita Hursell. The 46-year-old nurse s aide, who s
been out of work since 2007, is on food stamps and lives with her parents in
Lehigh Acres.
The biggest losers are high school and college aged Americans who can t find
jobs because they are being displaced by foreign students. This anonymous
comment to the article is very illustrative of the problem:
I teach at a high school here in Lee County and when I showed this article
to my students they were very upset. Many have been trying to find jobs for
almost a year and can not. Publix is one of the jobs I recommend since I have
family working there (in Jacksonville) and they love the benefits and work
environment. Now, we find out they are denying local kids the opportunity to
work and learn how to work so they can bring in cheap labor from out of the
country. Yeah, today s youth are not what they used to be, but who is going to
step up and help the schools train tomorrows leaders? We can t do it by
ourselves.
This is a poignant quote from the article that should be kept in mind when you
read what kind of jobs the foreign students are hired for:
Barbara Hartman, spokeswoman for the Career and Service Center in Fort
Myers says she s surprised Publix would turn to foreign workers. Usually, she
says, companies hire non-citizens for positions that are either specialized or
in remote places -- neither of which the Publix jobs are.
"I m just at a loss as to why they would not be able to find enough
candidates to fill those positions," Hartman said.
The following Q&A from the article (right side column) is loaded with
information about how Publix is using the J-1 Visa program to hire foreign
students:
Q&A with Publix spokeswoman Shannon Patten about its J1 visa workers
* How many J1 workers does Publix employ in Southwest
Florida, at which stores do they work and what they do?
We have more than 100 students working in various positions such as
cashiers, baggers, deli clerks, bakery clerks and grocery clerks.
* How does Publix find them?
We work with a third party that helps coordinate students who want to be a
part of this program with employers who have agreed to participate in the
program.
Perhaps the best way to determine the desirability of Publix jobs in Florida
is to go to one of those "third party" bodyshops to see more details.
Interlatina is a good place to start because they produced a flyer to recruit
foreign student employees for Publix. The flyer makes such a good case for
working at Publix it s difficult to imagine why Americans can t be found for
these positions:
* Founded in 1930, Publix Super Markets is the largest and fastest-growing
employee-owned supermarket chain in the United States.
* Publix s commitment to diversity has contributed to our success in being
a great place to work and shop.
* Based in Naples, Florida, most housing and job locations are situated
close to the beach and surrounded by the clear blue waters of the Gulf of
Mexico.
* Warm sunny weather year round, and great water recreational activities
to do.
* Live near the beach parties, amusement parks, and nightlife of Naples,
Miami and Orlando, FL
* Visit Miami (2 hours) and Orlando (3 hours)
* Wage per hour is $9.50 with average 30-35 hrs/week
* Shifts vary from 4 to 8 hours; numbers of hours per week may not be
guaranteed and may fluctuate depending on business needs.
* Over time may be available.
Interlatina has additional information on their website about the jobs at
Publix. The following are some excerpts from an employee agreement (link) with
a company called SAGE, which appears to be far more than a bodyshop that
contracts labor. On close inspection the details of this agreement may seem
odd to Americans who aren t familiar with indentured servitude.

Florida

Publix hires foreign workers
Says local residents don't want the jobs
AMY BENNETT WILLIAMS awilliams@news-press.com January 19, 2010
1:10 A.M. -- At a time when Lee County s unemployment rate is almost 14
percent and about 38,000 residents are jobless, Publix is paying people
from South America to work at some of its Southwest Florida supermarkets.
For the last three years, Publix has hired hundreds of Peruvians and
Brazilians for its stores in south Fort Myers and Naples during tourist
season because the company says it can t find locals to fill those spots.
The South American cashiers, baggers, deli, bakery and grocery clerks work
part time at more than 20 area locations, said Publix spokeswoman Shannon
Patten. The company began hiring them in late 2008, when Lee s
unemployment was about 6 percent.
"It is our experience that potential workers that live year round near
our stores are interested in permanent jobs, not temporary ones," Patten
said.
Many Southwest Florida jobseekers and the people who help them disagree.
"Are you kidding?" asked Rita Hursell. The 46-year-old nurse s aide,
who s been out of work since 2007, is on food stamps and lives with her
parents in Lehigh Acres.
Hursell, who just completed a computer class at the Career and Service
Center in Fort Myers, said she d be happy to work at Publix even on a
part-time, temporary basis. "I wouldn t mind at all," she said.
Pat Angelicchio, who owns Snelling Personnel Services in Fort Myers, says
Hursell is typical of the people he sees at his business, which matches
job-seekers to jobs.
"Everybody -- everybody -- who comes here would be happy to do a temporary
assignment. Even two or three days. They re prepared to do anything for
any amount of time, said Angelicchio. "I find it very hard to believe a
company as large and well-regarded as Publix would bring people in from so
far away when so many here are desperate for work. In fact, it makes me not
want to shop there."
The Publix workers, who are forbidden to speak to the press, have
short-term visas known as J1s and are college students, Patten said.
Although numbers aren t broken down by county, there are 7,756 J1
visa-holders in Florida, said U.S. State Department spokeswoman Darlene
Kirk. The department calls it an "Exchange Visitor Program," allowing
foreign college students to "become directly involved in the daily life of
the people of the United States through travel and temporary work." Publix
doesn t reciprocate in the exchange.
"Since our students come from the southern hemisphere," Patten said, "their
summer break coincides nicely with our winter tourist season. ... These
students are not replacing American workers."
Edison State College ethics and philosophy professor Charles Larkin calls
the Publix policy disgraceful and unpatriotic.
"With 14 percent unemployment in Lee County, Publix can t find any local
Americans interested in working part time? Give me a break," Larkin said.
"This can hardly have been the intent of the new Kennedy administration in
1961 when it instituted this program for cultural exchanges with Central
and South American nations which were, at that time, predominantly military
dictatorships."
Florida Rep. Paige Kreegel, R-Punta Gorda, who hadn t heard about the
practice before, called it terrible.
"I guess we need to raise a stink about it," Kreegel said. He intends to
talk to Publix representatives about it in the coming weeks.
Publix re-evaluates hiring needs every year, Patten said. "We will revisit
this for 2011.
South Seas Island Resort on Captiva has about five J1 visa workers doing
jobs locals don t want, said Joe Palmer, human resources director.
"If we can, we always recruit or staff locally," Palmer said. "The fact is,
we re 40 minutes from the Sanibel toll and if you re a breakfast
server, that means getting up at 4 a.m. But to anyone in the Fort Myers
community who s willing, we say, Please, come apply. We re happy to
talk to you. "
Barbara Hartman, spokeswoman for the Career and Service Center in Fort
Myers says she s surprised Publix would turn to foreign workers. Usually,
she says, companies hire non-citizens for positions that are either
specialized or in remote places -- neither of which the Publix jobs are.
"I m just at a loss as to why they would not be able to find enough
candidates to fill those positions," Hartman said.
So, she s got an idea for Publix: Check out her agency. "With more than
38,000 people looking for work in Lee County, we d love to help them with
their recruitment effort."
"Since our students come from the southern hemisphere," Patten said, "their
summer break coincides nicely with our winter tourist season. ... These
students are not replacing American workers."
