FTA:
U.S. Tech Workers, a nonprofit that wants to limit visas given to foreign technology workers, took out an ad to persuade Trump to stop the TVA from outsourcing much of its information technology division. The group, led by Kevin Lynn, criticized the TVA for furloughing its own workers and replacing them with contractors using foreign workers with H-1B visas.
If true, it does seem like an action that is appropriate for the United States Federal Government to take, no?
- dariusj18 6y agoI don't know about you, but I don't see the logic in firing someone who made decisions based in a vacuum once you actually have a policy you want to implement, unless of course there was some private refusal on the CEO's part. This reeks of political showmanship to hide poor leadership.
- Alupis 6y agoThe claim in the article was the TVA furloughed American Citizens, and then brought in more H1B Visa's instead, I suppose on the premise of paying them less than the furloughed workers. If that assertion is true, then the outcome here (with the CEO being fired) seems very fitting and appropriate. That would amount to a gross misuse of public trust, for a public (US Government) owned organization.
