Everywhere I look the downturn is because of “outsourcing”, “India taking our jobs!!”, “cheap overseas labor” and never, never ever porky’s fault. It’s the dirty immigrant labor, not the guys who talk about having “properties”. I’ve always seen this shit floating around in white collar jobs as long as I’ve been working but it’s been really amped up the last few weeks. I am not surprised that people are just this racist on their own but at least some of it feels very manufactured.

Nearly half of my workplace is on H1B and it is consistently used as a tool to delay and prevent salary increases and promotion. Some people have worked for us for years at the same rate merely because they are on a work visa.

We need a MF union.
