In 1977 the players in the league. both United States and alien players. had formed a legitimate union recognized by the NLRB. Because the soccer league refused to recognize the union. the union went out on strike. However. we heard testimony yesterday from the soccer players that the management told some of the alien H2 players that they would be deported if they went out on strike and would not be brought back to play in the league next year. Furthermore. the players went on to say that the management offered to guarantee the contracts of H2 aliens who would break the strike. Thus. we can see that the importation of temporary nonimmigrant alien workers into this country affords employers an enormous amount of power over these workers. which makes them more desirable as employees than U.S. workers.
