Nielsen replaces workers with H-1Bs from Tata Part 1

Lou Dobbs: 6/23/2008 The Nielsen Company in Oldsmar, Florida is replacing 110 of their American employees with Indians that work for the bodyshop Tata (TCS). The Americans are being blackmailed into training their H-1B replacements under the threat of losing their severance payments. The reason the H-1Bs must be trained is that they aren't qualified for the job and they don't have the skills. This is a proven case where H-1Bs are the cheapest, not the best and the brightest.

***** PART 1 *****
The mayor of Oldsmar didn't seem to have much sympathy for the Americans who are losing their jobs, and Dobbs was curious why the only city council member to speak out is Janice Miller. Meanwhile, Microsoft and Google want more H-1Bs, and Dobbs explains that the visas aren't very temporary.

One has to wonder just how much money the mayor took from Tata to promote Tata's agenda.

USA is becoming just like India where bribery and graft is the order of the day.

What kind of spin can they use? Oh, I forgot, the Tata will do the jobs Americans won't do, or, we could not find qualified Americans to do the job because we already fired them.

2010 worse now than ever! Lou please do an update on this rpt. Americans need to know who owns & runs their TV Ratings. TaTa (Habib) has and is eliminating jobs by the thousands for his TaTa H1B workers. Nielsen employees and the city of Oldsmar were never OK with this! Please repeat for the American people.

@pogularocky - It is a Farce. it will be "Global" when it is bi-directional. meaning if I want to go work in India ot China, I may. Tell me, Why is it that I cannot be issued a Guest worker Visa to work in India? Let's see if you know....

[PammyG68]

@pogularocky - "outsmarting the west" ? LOL....then put it to work in your own country and you will not have worry about getting a "Guest Worker" Visa..... LOL

[PammyG68]

@pogularocky - The cost of labor is purely a function of supply and demand. High supply low wages, THUS, the phoney cry of "shortage" in order to increase the supply. You seem to missing the very fundamentals of economics. None of it is a fuction or "willing to" or "wanting to"....

[PammyG68]

@pogularocky - That may be true but H1B has limits. That is what I am saying it is not unfettered. The irony is I cannot go work in India. Why is that? Also, if your country is such full of economics experts why do they not stay there and build India instead of coming to other countries as a "Guest Worker". Also, if the work is superior you would be getting comparable pay - but your not - it is 30-50 percent less. There is no shortage - only a shortage at a certain pricepoint.

[PammyG68]

@pogularocky - My Pathetic History or yours? I know them both.

[PammyG68]

@pogularocky, After living thousands of years in squalor-congrats.

Yes then you will not need to worry bout syphoning off of other countries then or coming here to work on a "Guest Worker Visa" . Make your own country viable.

In just 63 years, we picked up our shattered country, joined the pieces, healed our wounds and rose up to compete with the west again, holding our tradition of forgive-and-forget and not picking fights with the west over the past.

India does have advanced industries and a huge economy. We are growing faster than the west expected. India already owns a lot of companies in the west. Jaguar, Range Rover, British Steel, Pepsi, Sara Lee... they are just a few companies owned by India now
