Sounds union. Very rare in high tech for there to be OT.

Why? By 2010, what work that remains that isn't being done by H1-Bs locally will be directly offshored to India.

bigger problem i see is that stupid piece of paper (called a degree) that says that, theoretically, a person is capable of doing a job. most of the best computer techs i know are the ones that barely made it thru high school- usually because they were too busy playing on their computers- then they end up with $10 an hour jobs, doing work that if they had that piece of paper, they could be making 3x that or more.
if companies hired the best person for the job, not the person with the fanciest piece of paper, they'd have better workers and could pay less for them.
