text: 2 cents, Native hire first is taboo? Then how does UIC stay in business? At UIC if your not native, your chances of working for them are diminished by 95%. I worked for ASRC for 15 years. I believe their policy is Alaska native first, then AK residents. FYI, ASRC is staunchly NON-UNION! Mere mention of the word will get you a sharp look by company execs!
