We need to have the protections provided by the "Employ American Workers Act (EAWA)" returned. The EAWA expired on Feb 17th, 2011.
We ask these protections be made retroactive going back to Feb 17th, 2011.
Since then employers have abused American workers with lay-offs and in some cases forcing the American worker to train their replacement who is here on H1B Visa. The employee refuses he/she is then threatened with no severance package and/or separation from the company with cause so the employee will not be able to collect unemployment insurance.
We also ask all loopholes be closed and further restrictions be placed on employers hiring outsourcing firms (example: Infosys) to hire H1B Visa workers indirectly.
