I would rather take
into consideration the quality of air and water my family will be breathing and
drinking instead of the rate of pay offered.
I for certain would hate to see my child suffer from respiratory or lung
disease problems. Although, this would
offer a great deal of employment for the community, you also have to think about
whether or not the residents of this community are qualified or experienced
enough to operate certain machines required for coal mining. And if they aren’t qualified, then who WILL
get these jobs? Having foreigners come
in to take over these jobs will boost revenue to local businesses; however,
these will be new strangers coming into a small community that the local residents
have worked hard to build. Too many
negative factors should reflect on the decision why NOT to bring this business
to a small border town.
Moving from a
town you have practically either grew up in or made your home just because a
new company is trying to take over should NOT be the only solution.
