Thread regarding Fossil Inc. layoffs

Abolish H1B Visa program

You already know that ten senators signed a letter addressed to the Office of the Attorney General, the Secretary of Labor, and the Secretary of Homeland Security requesting an investigation into the H-1B visa abuses. Initially, the Department of Labor declined to act, but the Disney outsource/off-shore drew so much criticism the Department of Labor reconsidered.

All old news: but a good place to start some grassroots activity. The senators signing this letter are: Senators Dick Durban (D-IL), Jeff Sessions (R-AL), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Sherrod Brown (D-OH), David Vitter (R-LA), Claire McCaskill (D-MO), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Bernie Sanders (I-VT), and Jim Inhofe (R-OK).

I’ve sent emails to the first five and will send to the other five this week. (Blumenthal’s website will not accept out-of-state emails, so he’ll get a hardcopy snail mail letter.) I used http://www.senate.gov/ to connect to the senators’ individual websites.

Also, I happened upon the website petition2congress.com. They have a page for automatically sending messages to the president and our Congressman and Senators requesting the H-1B visa program be abolished. I checked out the website on woorank, WOT, easycounter, and scamadvisor – it got a clean review and likely can be trusted. Go to http://www.petition2congress.com/7637/abolish-h1b-visa-program.

I think the program has merit, I want people to come here who are smart and want to work. The program is simply being abused. Punish the abusers.

Actually, I'm running for president. Thanks.

I have contacted senators and have found jobs for my fellow IT coworkers that were ousted. I'm also commenting anonymously on this forum.

Here's an idea don't jump somebody else's crap over this, it's not their fault Fossil is screwing people. Redirect that hostility at the folks who did the deed if you need to.

Anonymous110244: We're all pleased to learn your financial threshold. But, what are you doing to initiate this class action suit? What are you doing to insure this doesn't happen to others in IT (or in other sectors)? Are you doing anything to insure the next generation of Americans have a chance at a middle-class existence?

I'd also accept any amount of money from class action.
