CRUM, W.Va. – Residents of Crum, West Virginia are calling out their local school district after a YouTube video exposed construction jobs at a new school in the struggling town went to immigrants.

“I personally worked very hard to get the bond passed to build this new school in Crum,” local Shane Dillon said as he stood in front the “Future home of … Crum PK-8 School” in a video posted to YouTube last week. “I knocked on doors. I made phone calls. I convinced friends and families to vote for this, because Crum needed a new school and we need jobs in this area, construction jobs.

“Now I find it’s mostly an imported workforce from as far away as Honduras,” he said as the video showed immigrants operating machines and hauling equipment.

“I’m from Honduras,” one of the workers told the camera man. “Everybody from Mexico, only me from Honduras.”

“That’s very frustrating to me,” Dillon said. “It should be to every taxpayer in Wayne County, and West Virginia.”

The video quickly gained the attention of local residents, the media, and Donald Gatewood, vice president of the Roanoke, Virginia-based construction company Swope, which won the construction bid.

More than 10,000 people have watched the video since it was posted last week. The population of Crum was 182 during the 2010 census.

“There are a lot of people uninformed or misinformed about the real facts,” Gatewood told WSAZ. “We vet our subcontractors to make sure they’re qualified.”

Gatewood called Dillon’s YouTube video misleading.

“It would be nice to have a project where we could have rules where you can only hire local people,” he said, “but that gets into training programs and scheduling, and a lot more money to do it that way, or it could be a lot more money to do it that way. But that’s not how the system is set up.”

Dillon told the news site during a protest Wednesday that the decline in the coal industry has devastated the town, and qualified locals should have been prioritized over folks from other countries.

“Our people need groceries as much as these people from Roanoke,” he said.

“We have people around here qualified for the work that need the work,” he said. “It’s a pretty depressed area. We need jobs.”

Dillon said that if the system prevents locals from working on a local school, the system needs to change.

“There needs to be laws changes to ensure local people are getting these jobs,” he said.
