Apparently. Southern California Edisona power company rooted in the United States of Americais converting. laying off. and terminating the employment of people who have been with them for a number of years. Southern California Edison is transitioning those positions to foreign employees who have come in under the HlB visa program for the sole purpose of taking a job. They are not coming under the immigration policy where they would move from green card into permanent residence and into citizenship. They come solely for a limited period of time to take a job. and they work for less pay too often. This is what one person said: "They are bringing in people with a couple of years experience to replace us and then we have to train them." said one longtime IT worker. "Its demoralizing and in a way I kind of felt betrayed by the company." I bet he did. Continuing to quote from the article: SCE. Southern Californias largest utility Which is a quasialmostgovernment entity under the regulatory powers of the Statehas confirmed the layoffs and the hiring of Infosys. based in Bangalore. and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) in Mumbai. They are two of the largest users of H 1B visas. Apparently what happens is these companies sign up workers inin this caseIndia. and they call up the big power company and say: Look. we have all these young people who have an education. and your salaries are real generous to them. they like your salaries. and we will just send them over on HlB visas. They can stay 3 years and then return to their country and you can get rid of all those American workers. Maybe you will not have to pay such high retirement or health care benefits.
