Even Mickey and Minnie shouldn't be too big to fail. Let's see if the Rat is taken down a notch or two.

I’d love to see the workers win big on this.

I would imagine the HR guys at the Disney operation who pushed to get the H-1B visas....are sitting with the lawyers presently and a bit worried over their ‘dream job’. None of them expected to be brought into court, and Disney will count every single dollar lost on this court episode as judgement against some stupid policy.

This is happening everywhere. I still don’t get how they can sue for something the government is enabling.

Having been outsourced by Cognizant myself I can sympathize with the workers who lost their jobs at Disney. In out case Cognizant used people on L1 visas, not H1-Bs but I suspect the deal was the similar - we could train our replacements for 6 months and get 6 months severance plus unemployment or leave and get nothing.

Nothing is quite as soul destroying as training someone to take your job. It took me 4 months to find another job for less pay and with less responsibility; my career never recovered. The ones who were left behind literally cheered and applauded as I walked out with my little box for the last time. Some of the Indian guys were clapping too. They knew they were being used to screw other people over and most didn't like the situation much better than we did but they needed the work too.

To any young person contemplating a STEM career who asks I tell them don't bother. You'll only end up working your butt off in college while other guys are on Spring Break and in the end you'll be left with massive student loans and no real career path. Consider a career in HR or marketing research.

U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., a Republican presidential candidate from Florida, has supported increases, too.

Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, another Republican presidential candidate, also introduced a bill with Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., to increase the minimum wage for H-1B holders to $110,000 annually.

Rubio wants more workers to be allowed and Cruz wants to pay them more! Tell me again why I should vote for the ruling political class! Totally beyond tar and feather time in DC. Grrrrr

The question I have for the legal eagle types that are around FR, is this: If there is collusion on breaking the law in employment between these companies, can this turn into a RICO suit?

We can only hope.

They are suing the Corporation and the current bosses, NOT WALT.

H-1B ping. Let me know if you're not on the list and want to be added (or are and want to be removed).

[dp0622]

who the @#$@# thought up this H1B?

and who ever was naive enough to think it was because there weren’t enough “skilled” workers here?

really gets me mad.
