  1. This Grigsby & Cohen by sethstorm · · Score: 1 · on Obama Says Offshoring Fears Are Unwarranted

    Bah, wish I could edit. This is the page to go to for email addresses. The contact page is a web form that requires a from address, name, a to address, and has a body maxlength of 250 characters.

    I would say they must be following their own program, but I've seen enough bad web forms to know that homegrown "designers" are just as plentiful.

    Wow. For those wondering if the link is worth clicking or not, it is if you want to get angry. It is clips from a law firm's seminar on how to advertise to get as few resumes as possible, and, should you receive qualified resumes despite all efforts, how to interview with the goal of rejecting applicants so that you can get green cards for H-1b workers.

    This is bullshit, and I'm telling them as much.

    That is, remove Taft-Hartley as well as RTW. After that, everywhere in the US will be on equal footing.

    Interesting that you're also in the proverbial back-yard of one of the most citizen and union-hostile law firms around.

    One example of their dirty work:

    A. The law requires an employer to post the LCA for ten days in two âoeconspicuousâ locations at the worksite where the H-1B worker will be employed. Acceptable locations for posting are where other notices, i.e., OSHA Notice, Wage and Hour Notice, etc., are displayed. After the ten day posting period, the LCA should be taken down, and a memorandum detailing the dates and locations of posting should be prepared and placed in the public access file. Another:

    A. The public access file must be open for public examination upon request. The employer, however, is not required to make employees aware of the existence of the public access file nor make it generally known that this information is available for public review. In an H-1B visa program compliance investigation, DOL will ask to view the file, but it does not regularly check public access files otherwise.

  7. Re:Taxes are neither good nor bad by sethstorm · · Score: 1 · on US House Votes To Renew Internet Tax Ban

    What's wrong with charities, church groups, 12 step programs, etc?

    Exhibit 1
    Exhibit 2
    Exhibit 3
    I can come up with more

    What you advocate is saying the government should be the one contractor that you can hire to build your house (because he'll work for no extra charge) For pennies more, then you get into circumventing your own nation on your side. Maybe I could suggest you get a business friendly lawyer to avoid those pesky citizens.

    If there's one regulation worth getting rid of, get rid of Taft-Hartley. It amounts to not much more than slave labor.

    (see the farce known as public schools). See the problem with selective admissions in any form of education. Ironic that to get out of the problem, another one is created (selectivity).

    I worked IT at one place where there were secretaries making more money then IT staff. Explain that one to me.
    You may want to check to see if your company has placed any H1B notices lately, or if you already see them onsite.
    Especially if you're in the area these artful dodgers practice law.

  11. Jennifer Pack thinks blacks are stupid by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Interesting · on How-Not-to-Hire-U.S.-Workers Law Firm Fires Back

    From Norm Matloff's discussion about these unethical practices he quotes Jennifer Pack of Cohen and Grisgby:

    You can also advertise in local and ethnic newspapers, such as the Pittsburgh Courier.

    The Courier is a newspaper that caters to blacks. Good thing they don't know about computers, right Jennifer?
