Well well well.
“Washington Alliance of Technology Workers” is a union. I love it. I don’t think that this particular union is one of those that sends Bamm-Bamm money.
Everybody bitches about unions, until they need one.
What’s funny is she is allowing them to challenge a Bush executive action.
Sounds like they’ll win too.
I totally agree with this article. I’ve seen the change over the past decade. Foreign tech labor is one of the reasons many tech schools went belly up. Its not that we don’t have enough people to fill tech jobs nor is it a lack of smarts to the work. What it is a lack of is desire to develop tech workers when one can harvest those workers already educated in foreign nations at a fraction of what it costs to educate a person here. The tech sector was one of the areas during the 90s that offered a very affordable path to good salaries and upward mobility now many of those jobs either go directly offshore or to foreign workers with work permits.
Im not anti work permits but I believe that US citizens should come first and that such work permits should not be used to replace US workers and that such a misuse of the permits should be very costly for businesses in litigation. Some of these companies that claim to be good corporate citizens and “green” are pathetic building their products in environmental wasteland countries for slave wages while American citizens lose jobs and opportunities to people brought here from third world countries and then of course this feeds the cycle where real US citizens have less children because they make less money and both damn parents have to work to provide the same wages that single wage families could once provide and that’s before you talk about the cost of education now up 700% and medical up 400%.
Eventually we have say ENOUGH is ENOUGH. Americans elect their leaders its about time their leaders start acting like Americans are their #1 priority. I’m personally tired of feeling like a second class citizen in my own damn country while fuckups, deviants and illegal aliens get treated like they are crapping golden eggs.
Pathetic.
The underlining truth is Federal taxes and regulations disadvantage American workers not only in competition around the world but now thanks to Obama here at home too.
I suppose on the bright side at least we don’t have to wait until our company goes out of business or overseas to lose our jobs more legally competitive foreign competition now.
Lets see, who are the ones pushing the amnesty crap? The Democrats.
Who are some of their most loyal constituents? Blacks, college kids and urban-white folks that tend to gravitate to the tech field.
Who will be hurt the most by amnesty?
Blacks...when Juan takes John’s job for much less(see the construction field)
College grads w/ tech degrees and programmers, etc....when the field is inundated with kids from India, Pakistan, etc that are willing to work for peanuts.
