[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who cares? Most of us are being treated like shit anyway. At least some blue collar jobs still have union.[/quote]

i work at a large financial company.  I work in an open area, sitting at a long desk, I have 24 inches of space, and surrounded by Indian H1Bs from Hexaware.  I have no space for personal items.  I have no space for thinking.  My productivity is a low as it can get yet some MBA got a promotion for saving money on office space.

software developers need a union.[/quote]

Then get your coworkers together and unionize. What's stopping you?[/quote]

if I speak up I am fired.  they have terminated most of the white people my age over the last 8 years.  I know, I am keeping a list.

and

most of the developers are now H1B guest workers.   How do we organize when the majority of labor is legalized temp workers?

I have a lot of respect for union leaders that have organized over the years.  coal miners had fear of dying on the job.  [/quote]

Being an H1B doesn't prevent them from joining. If you're serious, contact the computer and communication workers union. They will do all the heavy lifting for you. And tell them you're concerned about being fired by speaking up. That of course would be illegal.

Btw I hope you're keeping your list in a safe place. If you are terminated, invest in an hour with a good employment law attorney.[/quote]

$10 says hes the same guy who posts about how many H1-Bs Capital One hires every year in every thread about h1bs or visas or employment or unions he can. He's on some kind of ill informed crusade to prove that the firm fires people to replace them with contractors (despite the demonstrable fact it costs more money to hire contractors, and there are publicized internal goals to reduce reliance on external IT staff). On the backdrop of what I can only assume is an openly disgruntled attitude, he benoans how he's not getting promoted. Yea, it's a real head scratcher.
