[indoexpat-uk] Foreign Workers First?
Ternyata kalau di US tidak ada kewajiban seperti di UK sini untuk employer
mencari orang lokal dulu...

InfoWorld (08/29/05) Vol. 27, No. 35, P. 10; Schwartz, Ephraim
The U.S. Department of Labor's refusal to disclose job openings submitted by
U.S. employers seeking to hire workers on H-1B visas so domestic workers
might have a fair shot at them is a sign of disrespect to American labor,
according to University of California, Davis, computer science professor
Norman Matloff and others. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
(USCIS) says "the H-1B visa program is utilized...to employ foreign workers
in specialty occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise in
a specialized field." U.S. employers who wish to import foreign workers on
an H-1B to fill a stateside job are required to provide a Labor Condition
Application (LCA) describing the available position; the DOL has so far
received 51,939 LCAs, which Programmers Guild President Kim Berry wants
posted on the department's Web site so anyone can apply for the jobs. The
DOL's David James says the department does not have the authority to release
this information, but Berry counters that no statute specifies the time and
manner of LCA disclosure. Furthermore, a foreign worker with a valid H-1B
visa is disallowed from starting employment until Oct. 1, 2005. Berry
reports that an inordinate number of openings are for computer programmers
and software engineers. He acknowledges that employers are not obligated to
hire Americans, but says the DOL should be required to make the information
available to the public before the positions are filled. The maximum number
of allowed H-1Bs in 2006 stands at 58,200, but a USCIS Web site indicates
that 22,383 H-1B visas have already been approved and that 29,556 are
pending.
