The public can call Immigrant and Employee Rights (IER) Section free hotline at 1-800-255-7688 for workers or at 1-800-255-8155 for employers (1-800-237-2515, TTY for hearing impaired) for informal assistance; sign up for a live webinar or watch an on-demand presentation; email IER@usdoj.gov; or visit www.justice.gov/ier.

The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division charged the San Francisco Bay Area-based company, also known as “Epikso,” with unlawfully discriminating against American workers in favor of foreign visa workers back in February.
Epikso’s recruiters were said to regularly hire foreign H-1B temporary visa holders over US workers in violation of the Immigrant and Employee Rights Section (IER) in the US Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).
"Companies engaging in such discrimination are on notice that the days of the federal government looking the other way on American workforce protection are over," said Asst. Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet K. Dhillon.
"Protecting US workers from unlawful discrimination is the division's top priority," he said.

How about foreign workers overseas?

Um, the government is handing out the H1Bs…maybe stop.

This is the first case under the “protecting American Workers initiative “. Wells Fargo is next?

The "Protecting U.S. Workers Initiative" refers to a Department of Justice (DOJ) effort launched in 2017 to combat discrimination against American workers in favor of foreign visa workers. This initiative, spearheaded by the DOJ's Civil Rights Division, investigates and takes action against companies that violate anti-discrimination laws by favoring foreign workers. The initiative also involves partnerships with other federal agencies like the Department of Labor (DOL) and USCIS to ensure comprehensive protection for U.S. workers.

Call the hotline and report Wells Fargo for replacing American workers with H1B visa workers. Wells Fargo is a big abuser of H1B visa , try convincing Dept of Labor and Dept of Justice that these Indian workers have the skills that American workers don’t have and that thousands of Americans had to be replaced by these H1-B Indian workers. This is the first of many cases. Just wait.

Good.
