The Optional Practical Training program started out with good intentions, but it’s depressing wages while exploiting foreign students and disadvantaging American ones.

Great article by @RosenthalRC explaining how big tech undermines the success of black and Hispanic American tech workers by choosing to give jobs & internships to cheaper foreign labor. #EndOPT #EndH4EAD #EndH1B

The largest occupation group of the Black middle class are IT workers, but rarely noticed: Biden couldn't have won in 2020 without Black voters and Big Tech money. But what happens when those two constituencies are at odds? asks @RosenthalRC

There is no "labor shortage." There is a shortage of good jobs, good pay, good job conditions. When workers refuse bad jobs, bad pay and poor job conditions, employers whine "labor shortage." Don't be fooled.

Kellogg's turn toward using scabs to break strike. This will test whether a resurgent labor movement will win or be repressed. Will labor's allies help? Deep stresses are rising to challenge and change US capitalism.

My latest article: pro-immigration research papers published by the Cato Institute are not independent, but designed to meet the needs of lobbying clients, according to allegations in a Telegram message obtained by @ChroniclesMag.

Punishments should be sizable enough to deter future bad behavior. @USDOJ fine of $14mm is literally a rounding error to FB’s $86bn in revenue (0.016%). $9.5 million settlement fund for US workers who were discriminated against is a slap-in-the-face to every US worker.

Shame on @JoeBiden for following @wto suggestion that US pharmaceutical cos waive intellectual property protections to turn over COVID vaccine IP to foreign nations. More #AmericanWorkers training foreign replacements. EU smartly disagrees w/ waiver https://t.co/HVJtTiQlSQ

The Biden administration, siding with some world leaders over the U.S. pharmaceutical industry, came out in favor of waiving intellectual property protections for coronavirus vaccines.

A big loss for #AmericanWorkers Of course, it’s not as though they ever stopped the flow of cheap foreign labor. #H1B #H4EAD #L1 #OPT #J1 are used to DISPLACE workers of all backgrounds Congress must learn this isn’t a Ponzi scheme. America suffers when corps screw citizens.
NEW: President Biden is expected to let lapse a pandemic-related ban on H-1Bs and other guest-worker visas imposed by former President Trump, a big win for tech cos. The moratorium is due to expire tomorrow. Story w/ @Genna_Douglas on @TheTerminal
