Guild H-1b Reforms
• True prevailing wage of at least what average
Americans earn within the
same job classifications.
• H-1b and L-1 LCAs only approved after the
employer has conducted
good faith, transparent recruitment, and was unable to find any qualified U.S. candidates, at
any price.
• H-1b only granted to U.S. business entities
with as direct hires
- not to consulting firms (Indian or otherwise) to be re-shopped against American job seekers.
• H-1b to include a $1,200 annual fee that
would be used to
fund $15,000 scholarships for American college students in STEM programs - consistent with legislation
that Senator Sanders
has introduced twice.
