This is what I suggest. File a US District Court suit agaist ANY company that you've sent a resume to that hasn't responded that has hired H1-B aliens within the past 24 months. In fact, I'm going to look into the laws and see if there is a federal statute that requires them to hire Americans before they hire aliens. If there is, I'm going to ask for everyone concerned to start filing charges against those companies that have violated the law.

As a consumer, I purchased life-time computer tech support from Gateway. They now have a huge division in India and I have had so much trouble understanding the techs. They are polite and try to be helpful, but drive me nuts, as we go step by step to get to the problems on my computer. When I ask them to "repeat" something, they say, "ahh,.." and then RE-phrase instead of RE-peat, confusing me more. When I nicely say that I would like to talk to someone else because I absolutely cannot understand them, they will not give up. I sometimes end the call and redial, but 9 out of 10 times I get patched into the India office. They even use American names, like Fred Smith and Gary Brown. I think I need to look at my contract and make a complaint.

I've sent out hundreds of resumes with only three interviews and no offers. Congress back stabbed American workers in their search for funds and their march towards globalism. Hitech workers would likely benefit from unions and collective bargaining. In the past, stock options, a label as a 'professional' and an abundance of jobs kept the unions out. Time to rethink the case for unionizing hitech.
