"When we grow up, we want to travel to the U.S. with tech visas and take jobs from Americans. Thanks, Harris Miller."

Thanks to the Jew Harris Miller, 200,000 tech workers in the U.S. have been displaced from their jobs. Whites are often blackmailed into training their low cost, marginally competent or often incompetent replacements who possess "diploma mill" credentials.

<<<<< JOB DESTRUCTION NEWSLETTER No. 1497 -- 06/10/2006 >>>>>

The Bank of America is replacing their American workers with Indians, but
before they are given a pink slip they are required to train their foreign
replacements. Refusal to cooperate will result in the loss of severance
packages.

Corporations who are engaging in this practice usually call it by
politically correct euphemisms such as "knowledge transfer" or "knowledge
acquisition" but I prefer to call it by a more accurate name - BLACKMAIL.

The BofA is using Tata Consulting (TCS) to import the Indian replacements.
No mention was made in the article below what visa is being used to import
the Indians but it's probably a combination of H-1B and L-1s. Neither visa
requires that employers give hiring priority to U.S. citizens and legal
residents so BofA can get away with this while avoiding legal problems.
What is happening at BofA is one of those sorry spectacles that are playing
out all across the country.

Forcing employees to train their foreign replacements is nothing new at
BofA, as you can see by looking at some of the old news clips:

BofA Tech Workers Fear Jobs
Heading Off to India, Contra Costa Times, April 27, 1997:

Bank of America's technology center is in the early stages
of an unsettling cost-cutting experiment. The San
Francisco-based bank is asking its computer engineers in
Concord to undermine their own job security by helping to
train potential replacment workers imported from
India before shipping an untold number of positions overseas...

The bank also maintains none of its Concord emloyees will be
dropped from the payroll if the pilot program with the India
workers proves to be a success.

You're Fired, Now Go Train Your Replacement, San Francisco Business Times,
November 22, 2002:

Spreading some pre-holiday cheer, Bank of America this week
announced that it is cutting 900 tech positions---with the
twist that some layoff victims have to help train replacements
if they want to get severance pay...

The most tragic case was that of Kevin Flanagan.

Job losses sap morale of workers, May. 13, 2003, CONTRA COSTA TIMES

One month ago, Kevin Flanagan took his life in the parking
lot of Bank of America's Concord Technology Center, on the
afternoon after he was told he had lost his job.

Gagnon confirmed this, saying that in some cases it made
sense to have workers train their overseas successors before
they are let go.

"The knowledge transfer is essential to continue to provide
our customers with the best possible services and
solutions," Gagnon said.

I covered the Flanagan case in detail - go there to read more:

2003 05-13 Regarding the Suicide Story

We have seen this form of corporate blackmail all too often. Siemens in
Orlando Florida was probably the most publicized case of forced replacement
and training. Mike Emmons broke the Siemens case on WKMG TV, but in the end
Siemens won because they weren't doing anything illegal. To understand the
Siemens saga, watch the "Stolen Jobs" video near the bottom of this page:

http://www.zazona.com/ShameH1B/MediaClips.htm

One of the most important things to notice in the "Stolen Jobs" story is
that Siemens admitted to WKMG that they were forcing their American
employees to train their foreign replacements, and even Florida's
Congressman Rep. Mica knew about it - BUT NOTHING EVER HAPPENED TO SIEMENS.
Nothing will happen to BofA either because replacing American workers with
H-1B/L-1 visa holders may be against the spirit of the law, but it's not
against the letter of the law. In the case of L-1 visas, which are the most
often used choice when employers are doing this forced training and
replacements, the spirit of the law isn't even on our side. To read more
about this story, search the newsletter archive for the keywords "Mike
Emmons". and/or "Siemens"

The most obvious question you are likely to ask is what can be done to stop
this humiliating form of corporate terrorism against America? I can only
think of three ways to stop it, and only one way that will work:

1 - Embarrass the company by publicizing what they are doing. Unfortunately
this tactic has proven to be a total failure in the past. If the 2003
suicide of Kevin Flanagan in the BofA parking lot wasn't enough to
embarrass BofA it's doubtful anything else will.

2 - File class action lawsuits. This hasn't proven effective because of the
immense cost. Understandably lawyers aren't willing to take these high-risk
cases on a contingency basis. Lawyers consider H-1B/L-1 lawsuits as high
risk because for the most part employers aren't breaking the law and there
are so many loopholes they can use to escape court decisions. Only one
class action lawsuit was actually brought to trial but unfortunately Tata
and HP won. To read more, go here:

3 - Change the laws. If the majority of U.S. voters decide that they don't
want to be replaced with H-1B and L-1 visa holders, or any other type of
foreigner on a work visa, then they will have to elect politicians that
will change the laws. Ultimately this is the only method that will work.

The newsletter archive contains stories about many other companies who have
forced their U.S. employees to train their replacements. This list is by no
means complete, it's only a partial list of the stories this newsletter has
covered. As you can see, there is nothing unique about BofA.
