More likely, they were turning up their noses at the combination of pay
at-or-below minimum wage, and working conditions not in compliance with OSHA
or other regulations.

the classic OSHA case is of an American who turned down a job cleaning out
rail tankers at a minimum wage, and a Mexican illegal took the job for a
dollar less than minimum wage, and with no equipment went in to scrub out a
refrigerated tanker in which the air had been replaced by pure nitrogen. He
died. 

guess he should have turned up his nose, eh? Or maybe taken a breather tank
in with him. But I guess the employer was more concerned with not taking the
time to replace the nitrogen with air, or spending the money for a breather
unit. 

But hey, he got to not hire some complaining American... who saved his own
life by refusing to work for such an unscrupulous skinflint.
