They were hired by a subsidiary of Halliburton to do some work down in the Gulf of Mexico to try to deal with the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. They went out as a result of an oral contract and hired 75 skilled. experienced electricians to do a job. It wasnt very long before the subcontractor with Halliburton said. dont worry about that. your electricians will not be on the job very long. We are bringing in new people. Guess what. They did bring in new people. My guess is a fair number of them were undocumented workers. They say almost none of them spoke English. They say their electricians were trying to work beside them and these were not skilled electricians.
