Hathian Hardware & Labor
By santoonizuka resident

TYPE: Official Business

SLURL: Hathian, north Bourbon Street

BACKGROUND: As the foreman for the Hardware Store and the Labor Union, I would be capable of branching out the current umbrella of business I have, (handyman commercial cleaning, auto shop, and discreet MC business) which would allow other players to have an opportunity to be included. With the current tropical storm, and the many more on the way, the business would profit via construction/reconstruction throughout the city. On top of that, this would allow steady trade via Hathian's ports in both Vodou and Rougarou. There are already players wishing to have stable and consistent access to materials and the means to move and utilize said materials. Regular events include community service and BBQs. By managing this business, this would allow other faction leaders and business owners to put contractors to good use for many things, including fortifying properties and even constructing new properties. New employees would also feel included by being offered protection through the labor union. They'd not only be taken care of, but they'd be given a chance to get in contact with the MC and be apart of their dealings.

UNIQUE: Given that this business is established firmly in Hathian, it'd be more about advertising it and making use of its capabilities to serve the community. From my understanding, it hasn't been used to its fullest extent. By putting boots on the ground and giving people another place of work, it guarantees interaction. By having and utilizing my vehicle permit, I can use a wide variety of vehicles for different uses, much like how I do for the Auto Shop and my Commercial Cleaning business. This makes advertising easy since the company logo can be slapped onto the vehicles if need be. This would also make it easy for the business to sponsor during events.

EXPERIENCE: At the moment I serve as the Faction Lead for the Devil's Own Motorcycle Club in Hathian. I am also the shop manager (second in command) at the Hathian Motors Auto Shop and I have experience leading the group over there as well. To top it off, I also have a commercial cleaning business called Daredevil Commercial Cleaning that I utilize every now and then. It's safe to say I'm an established and well known business owner and leader on the sim.

IDEAS: By holding job fairs and focusing on the labor union to not only provide things such as health insurance, retirement plans, and multiple forms of occupation. This broad spectrum of employment gives people a chance to fill in different niches that the city needs. Not only to build what they desire from the ground up, but to be apart of a family of sorts. Additionally, the labor union and the business would be capable of working in tandem with the City of Hathian (FDH and HPD) to take care of certain jobs thanks to the equipment available. By giving access to freight and construction materials, it allows for people to come into the city thanks to numerous job openings and opportunities for relocation, which means more money for those who already have deep pockets in the city.

OTHER: I'd hold an event at the beach most likely, sponsored by multiple businesses. A classic BBQ/cookout wouldn't hurt during the summer. Fireworks, women, bikinis and speedos; what's not to like about that?
