KEY LARGO REPORT: BP HIRING CLEAN UP WORKERS KEY LARGO - UPDATE BLACK HELI'S
Update I live about 10 miles south of Key Largo, driving up saw super low flying black helicopters on the bay side, (west side), circling around about mile marker 90.5 doing large circular sweeps. It was just about where the bird sanctuary is on the gulf side of the island. I tried to see any writing, (they were as low as the power wires). No name, no numbers, all I could make out was a red diangonal line near the nose. Practically on top of my car so it was clearly visible.


I got a call this morning from the "Workforce Innovations" place, the one that is supposed to help people on unemployment get jobs. (Before anyone goes there...I am NOT on unemployment anymore, they are calling everyone that has ever registered with them).

BP is hiring for clean up of the "spill" for the Florida Keys and will pay for training. 7 a.m. tomorrow morning, (July 8), at the Holiday Inn in Key Largo. Make sure you can work in over 100* F outdoor temps. Of course, if they want you to work like in other places, you'll probably get a lot of breaks.

I just want to add so much for the denials that there is any oil here.

Do they provide chemical suits for their workers protection?

Apparently...so figure in those white suits, gloves, and boots, they will work 15 minutes at a time.

We don't have sandy beaches down here for the most part, so I'm not sure exactly how they are cleaning up. It's all coral rock.

Maybe I should go and see what the dealie is :)

I'm getting new tires on my car Friday morning, so I'm ready to scoot. I meant I should go and see what they are saying, not that I could actually do the job in these temps anyway....

They'd probably make you do a lot more than that.

I cannot believe BP is in charge of this.
It's yells 'fail'!

GOOD FOR YOU! 5a

90 percent of the Exxon Valdez clean up crew are dead. The remaining 10 percent are sicker than hell.

The Exxon Valdez spill wasn't anywhere near as poisonous and toxic as the shit you would be dealing with.

You aren't in Key Largo anymore. verysad

If you have never worn one of those white suits you should know that they are hotter than hell and you better plan on drinking LOTS of water just to keep up with water loss from sweating

That's how I felt before AH-64's started circling the city every day...

You get used to it after a while, though the first time 5 AH-64s in formation flew RIGHT THE FUCK over me while I was driving had me pretty fucking confused.

Cleaning up crude is a MFer. You can never get it all. Those tyvex suits can be a sweaty bitch even in cold climates. Worked on a spill at Prudehoe in 77. Wiffing those fumes for a few weeks made me crazy mean.

I personally haven't seen any - we go out every weekend on the gulf side. I have heard secondhand stories though, but haven't posted them since I can't confirm.

There were a few reports in the local papers a while back, but the experts said it had nothing to do with the Horizon.

Re: KEY LARGO REPORT: BP HIRING CLEAN UP WORKERS KEY LARGO - UPDATE BLACK HELI'S
Just out of curiosity.. how much does BP pay the clean-up workers?

Im wondering because they clean-up workers seem very timid into not saying anything to the media which leads me to believe they are getting paid decent money ..atleast enough to keep them quite.

Hey, you gotta have the background to go with a good acting bit to get hired. If they are giving exams, it is to see if you are mentally deficient enough to get hired. Hard to fool.

Prolly be about trying to fool the employment test at WallyWorld and get hired in place of someone with a disability. HR staff at this big corp-o-rat emloyers know their stuff.

My hubby called the Holiday Inn to see what's up. The night guy didn't know anything, so he went to find out...came back and said they are going to be there until the 21st from 7 a.m.to 5 p.m. in the African Queen room.

Common sense tells me that the signage doesn't say BP or Toxic Waste Cleanup. You can bet you'd have to sign a non-disclosure agreement. I'm going to drive up there and find out what's up.
