Toys ‘R’ Us Forces U.S. College Grads To Train Their H-1B Foreign Replacements

Breitbart ^

[TigerClaws]

Toys “R” Us is the latest in a string of U.S. companies that has been caught forcing their American employees to train foreign college-grads to take the Americans’ jobs, via a process known as “knowledge transfer.”

An expose by the New York Times revealed in detail how the renowned children’s toy-chain brought in eight workers from the global outsourcing company Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). The Indians shadowed employees, mainly in accounting, and produced intricate manuals for TCS workers in India to take over these jobs. By late June, the jobs had been transferred overseas and 67 employees had been laid off from Toys “R” Us, many of whom had reportedly been at the company for over a decade.

Ted Cruz is about as good for America as Hillary Clinton.
Not sarcasm....

I wonder if extortion could be charged nevertheless? At the very least the given company would be squirming mightily at the media coverage of how it tried to screw its employees(even if the plaintiff was found not to have a case)!

It is extortion....you are losing your job but if train this person, we’ll given you some severance, don’t train this person and you’ll be fired with a bad reference! I’d like to see it tested!

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).

In the past I read a lot of stories about engineers and programmers getting screwed by the H1-B visas, now the accountants are also getting hit. Who is next?

A LONG list of H-1B eligible occupations has been posted on FR ... copying the ping list in the hopes that one of them can answer your question.

I think Ted Cruz's stealth support for the H-1B program is probably a big part of why he's way down in the polling and Donald Trump rules.

I hope it's not too late for Cruz to convince his deep-pockets backers that they simply can't get an H-1B-expander as the nominee and they need to support him in coming out against H-1B.

Almost 50 posts and no reference to Bodacious Tata? FReepers are slipping.

H1-B is part of Immigration as an issue writ-large. Immigration is an absolute deal breaker with me. If your mind is not right on immigration, you are done.

This is why Trump is winning, absolutely. Only guy out there who gets it on immigration.

[Menehune56]

I actually like Ted Cruz but apparently many of his large donors are from Silicon Valley and have a vested interest in suppressing tech wages. Ted is going to need to convincingly renounce the H-1B program and find a different set of deep pocket backers.

Here's the press release still up on Ted Cruz's senatorial website trumpeting his support for a 500% (!!) increase in H-1Bs.

And here he is reiterating that support this past July:

"Cruz: ‘Proud to Defend’ Trump, Expand H-1B Visas For ‘Educated,’ ‘Talented’ Job Creators" (July 7 2015) - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3309118/posts

Bernie Sanders also gets it on H1B’s (but not illegal immigration). I think this is a reason for some of his support, too.
