You all laugh at what this implies. But eventually something is going to happen that could have been avoided.

Are you worried he didn't know how to hang drywall bc he was in a gang? (Assume he was trained properly.)
Are you worried there are unsavory types working labor jobs in FL? (People who do these jobs aren't generally the country club set.)

The only concern is that hiring gangbangers is not a safe practice for the employer or the community. Not sure how you would prevent that though. Maybe if there was a question on the employment application: Are you in a gang? Yes/No

Perhaps if e-Verify was actually used properly.....

Since this is a senior communities, our contractors needs to be held to a high standard. That should include background checks on all workers entering The Villages.

This could have been avoided if employers would just ask applicants if they are members of murdering gangs :)

All contractors required to be registered with TV, showing proof of having a driver's license, current tags, maybe even insurance like workman's comp.
Don't just flag-thru anyone with a truck or trailer.

I saw a truck in my neighborhood doing work. Colorado plates, 5 years expired.
That means no car/truck insurance, probably no FL driver's license, probably paying no taxes, definitely not a licensed contractor with insurance.
and we welcome them ?
