Hertz Is Pulling a Disney

Posted by BeauHD on from the foreign-relations dept.

New submitter wcrowe writes: Hertz is laying off over 200 IT employees, outsourcing the work to IBM India Private Limited, which has filed paperwork for H1-B visas to bring in replacements from overseas. This sounds pretty similar to what Disney did a year ago.

    H1-B is a non-immigrant visa .

    If you think "all companies that do this are run by Republicans," you really need to think "the few Republican-run companies that do this are joining the long list of Democrat-run ones."

    Silicon Valley has the highest H-1B use in the US, and they're primarily left-wingers out there.

    There are also a lot of H-1B recipients at colleges and universities, which are by no means right-wing enclaves.

    "Silicon Valley has the highest H-1B use in the US, and they're primarily left-wingers out there."

    Got any proof to support that assertion?

    California (and SiValley) companies are generally quite right-wing - the MBAs have a pretty firm foothold there.

    It's because of the entertainment industry that people think that the state is very socialist/left wing.
