Hiring Refugees: How One Big Factory Did It by amyfeldman
GE Appliances' Edris Akseer , an Afghan refugee who came to the U.S. following the Taliban takeover, now helps the firm hire and train other Afghan refugees, like Waridullah and Mohammadullah Zayarmal, at its Louisville, Ky., plant.dris Akseer fled Afghanistan last summer with his family and two of his brothers after the Taliban takeover. Arriving eventually in Louisville, Ky., he took a job on the refrigerator production line at GE Appliances’ factory there this March.
“It is very exciting for Afghans to come here. We never had a factory like this so when you see something like this you are excited about it,” he says. When Afghans come for interviews at the plant, he says, “they see the factory is well-organized and that people get good pay and have chance to do overtime.”
The initiative comes as the population of global refugees has swelled since the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan and the war in Ukraine, while the labor market for manufacturing jobs in the United States has become increasingly tight. Louisville is a competitive market for blue-collar workers because it is both a logistics hub and home to a large Ford plant.
