You have heard about employers exploiting workers, right? Are you aware that in the real world, many workers exploit their employers? They demand high salaries, collect the salaries, and do not give back to their employers what they take from the employer. They are willing to take advantage of their employer, when the boss is not aware.  

They wait for instructions and lack initiative to carry out whatever is necessary for the business to survive. They treasure their personal time and freedom and are not willing to sacrifice for their employer. 

These workers seem to think that it is easy for their boss to run a business. That is why employers do not wish to employ local workers. It is their bad attitude.

He told me that he does not wish to generalize and to say that all local workers have bad attitudes. They may be exceptions, but quite few. He has bad experience and wish to avoid employing local workers. They are not reliable.

I think that he is referring to the small businesses, who have to struggle very hard. He is not referring to the big companies - which pays well and can command the full loyalty of the workers.

I wonder if his observation is fair to local worker?
