.....Disney, Southern California Edison and most recently Fossil Group have together fired hundreds of American tech workers and forced them to train their foreign replacements, many of whom were flown in specifically to take their job.
....On their last day of employment, he and the other replaced workers were asked to turn over their badges, their Disney season passes, and their laptops and then asked to leave.... It was just a complete shock that you could do that in this country, he said.
....... Its just so humiliating and so anti-American. Its just, its just terrible. Its just awful.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is the only top GOP 2016 contender even talking about limiting the flow of guest workers into the country. (RELATED: Where Cruz Stands With Rubio Against Walker On Immigration)
Rubios I-squared bill would triple the number of temporary guest workers businesses could bring into the country every year, and allow for a virtually unlimited number of university-based green cards.
The big businesses backing this bill and clamoring for more guest workers insist they cant find enough Americans willing or able to fill certain high-skilled jobs. Rubio obviously agrees, and has argued more guest workers and immigration generally will result in more jobs for Americans.....
Its basically a quest for cheap labor, Norm Matloff, a computer science professor at the University of California Davis, told TheDCNF. The abuse of H-1B pervades the entire industry. They all could find american workers if they wanted to, but they want cheap labor and they want immobile labor.
Its only purpose is to please the corporate interests that are very heavy campaign contributors, he added. That is literally the bottom line.
The ex-Disney employee concurred, calling the notion of a shortage completely insane, given his experience. Theres not a shortage of IT workers but all the jobs are vanishing,"........

Ive heard, and read, that before. That just doesnt make sense. How do you force an employee who is going to be let go to train his foreign replacement?
If you read the article, it does go into detail and explains it clearly...
I am guessing considerable money could be lost if the US worker refuses to train the H-1B visa holder with a “positive attitude”
one quote:
He and hundreds of his fellow Cast Members were informed last October they were being replaced by a foreign work force, and they could either stick around for 90 days and train their replacements with a good attitude or leave immediately and forego their severance packages.
Thanks for posting this. I have heard that the Fast Track trade bill has immigration expansion within the bill :(
During the Gang of Eight Amnesty debate, Senator Ted Cruz submits an amendment that calls for a “500% increase” in H1-B work visas:

Three ways.
(1) Large corporations offer a generous severance package. 18 months of full pay and full benefits is not uncommon for someone with 10 years at the company. Plus, they might pay tuition for new training. They might offer office space while you job search. And almost all companies offer a 12 month contract with a professional job search firm.
(2) Job recommendation - a future employer is legally allowed to request four items of information from a past employer. The dates of your employment. Job title. Pay. Eligible for re-hire? If you fail to train your replacement, your current employer will tell all future employers you are NOT eligible re-hire. That's a huge black mark on your record, and your current employer has NO legal obligation to explain why you are not eligible.
(3) You must sign a full non-disclosure agreement before you receive your severance package and your eligibility for re-hire. If you break that agreement, they will sue to recover all money from the severance package, and you will instantly become NOT eligible for re-hire.
Very insightful... Thanks so much.
“How do you force an employee who is going to be let go to train his foreign replacement?”
You need to get out more if you don’t know the ways corporations can control people, whether in grunt jobs or executive positions. While working in HR for for several years, I’d go home sick — literally — some days after watching what had gone on in the Director’s office. It was shameful.
Q: "Did you really work for the Senator?
A: "I guess so. He sure didn't work for me."
That’s a terrific joke.
Thanks for sending it.
Still laughing!
