I worked for a beekeeper that had 30 South and Central Americans, plus 4 locals, I got $2.50 less than they did, they were all very fast and skilled but were kicked or hit by the "Patron" and had deductions taken from their pay that were clearly illegal. They did not complain to officials and I was told after I left some were cheated out of their last checks. Locals could do these jobs and many others in agriculture if the jobs were brought up to USA standards, but slavery seems so attractive to bosses.
There was literature posted, in English which few could read, that said any local that applied could get a job, not sure why this wouldn't apply to Fairbanks hotels. There was also a phone # to call for information.
