its time for students to take jobs in national parks again,

The governors Of Wyoming and Montana have turned a blind eye and an open pocket to the privileged white families who own most business in and around Yellowstone Park.

The miserable treatment, low pay and horrendous housing conditions are ignored by the National Park service, the state of Wyoming/Montana.

Run down housing with swastikas on walls, no smoke alarms, no fire extinguishers, animal feces at ones doorstep, no not buffalo, but rodents.

Stained , unclean beds that have not been sanitized. These stories are conveniently ignored by the local media. The Bozeman Chronicle, the West Yellowstone News, Billings Gazette. All would rather have the ad dollars and write propaganda , pro employer stories then risk losing advertising dollars

The US Parks Service, Montana and Wyoming's dirty little secret is that slavery is alive and well in West Yellowstone, Montana and neighboring Yellowstone National Park communities. Workers are forced to work long hours for minimal pay while living in filthy, sometimes bug/mouse infested run down housing

This writer has been threatened with physical violence by an employer who put employees in housing with visible swastika on the wall, satanic symbols, animal feces on doorsteps, rodents living below residence, mold growing out of the carpeting, filthy beds, no smoke alarm, no fire extinguisher.

These problems are missed by the local fire department who's assistant fire chief is related to the wealthy loomis family. Who coincidently own Days Inn and provide substandard housing to its employees.

This feudal system in west Yellowstone is an example of the rich getting richer off the sweat of the poor and minority workers

The lies of Xanterra parks and resorts in Yellowstone park pile up. The majority white management exploits employees, senior citizens, Jamaicans, Chinese workers
This Xanterra employee just spent 6 plus weeks working at $7 an hour and living in Dorms where Xanterra charged rent to employees and filled employee cafeteria with unhealthy food, green molded bread at times, chips and tortillas left exposed and uncovered all night,.

While the majority white management staff bullied employees, many brought in from nations like China, Jamaica, Serbia, etc. Employees are promised many activities, free time for enjoyment of Yellowstone park.

What they get is, bullying by majority white management, while many seniors works back breaking jobs for long late hours at $7 and hour. Forced to eat mostly overcooked food that lacks nutrients.

I myself worked 40 plus hours and in 6 weeks only had 7 5 minute breaks.
I saw Asian girls break down and cry from the abuse. While many young Caucasian girls received promotions and preferential treatment

I was surprised to see such open racism, the n word used so loosely and the anti semitic remarks flow so freely while Christians had their run of the dorms and workplace. I myself received information from Christians comparing Judaism and Buddhist and Muslims to cults

In the Dorms your children are being tempted by drugs, underage drinking,
in one of the dorms at Lake Yellowstone where lake hotel employees and kitchen staff is employed. Teens were even producing movies.

It was not unusual seeing young girls, some as young as 18 sitting in the employee pub being massaged and rubbed by alcohol drinking middle aged white male managers

This employee was three times written up for daring to challenge the racist Nazi like actions of Xanterra Parks and Resorts.

It is about time for the National Park Service, Congress, the INS, Jesse Jackson, Rev AL Sharpton and also the Bush administration to investigate Xanterra Parks and Resorts and it's heavy handed actions vs hard working employees
