RE: The Journal News: Flow of jobs overseas has human toll

        Not if the companies who are hiring refuse to consider US workers.
EDS regularly lays off US workers and replaces the with H-1B's. Recently,
they laid off an American worker with 5 years experience. Her job was not
listed on the internal jobs network, but it was posted in a remote bulletin
board. Only one person applied for her job. No degree. No experience. H-1B
who had been in the US for 3 weeks. Of course, EDS denies it and the
employees don't have access to any HR documentation to prove it.
        TATA will not hire Americans for any position, unless they
absolutely are required by the customer to do so. They have stated that
American workers are not qualified to work at TATA because they are not
trained in TATA's proprietary software package. Check their website, or one
of their employees, if you can find one that will talk about it. The package
doesn't exist.
