So many things wrong about this move by Disney. Terrible to see Julian Castro pushing for H1B increase. I hope the technology sector worker takes heed. Silicon Valley, Wall Street, and all corporations are out to keep wages low using whatever legal means possible, even illegal as the Steve Jobs/Eric Schmidt agreements show. $100K+ salaries is too much for the 1% and their investors to sustain so they'll bring in the foreign workers through these visas to replace 40+ year-old tech workers (age discrimination?). The federal government doesn't care. It is too busy trying to work out the TPP which no doubt, is another win for these corporations. The tech sector workers need to unite to maintain the gains they have made. The last time Americans had access to this quality of life was working for manufacturing plants. Unions helped maintain that lifestyle until over time, the 1% removed those protections and unions started dying off. Once again, we have an opportunity to maintain a high quality of life but we need to unionize. If you hate the word union, then use community. We need to form a community of tech sector workers to protect our gains. We cannot let these corporations get away with this without us making a move. Show or not, Gawker writers know that bloggers are easily replaceable what with all the English majors American universities are churning out each year. To protect their jobs, it makes sense to unionize. There's no reason why a 30-something year-old writer should live with the fear that any day, a fresh out of college individual can easily take over. |
