Subject: The
"Economist Help Wanted" in today's Bee for CA ISO is a fake ad
Dear Sacramento
Bee,
On Tuesday I wrote
informing you that only Computer Help Wanted in your paper was a fake job ad.
Today, in spite of local employers Intel and HP recently successfully lobbying
congress to increase the H-1B cap, there is not a single help wanted under the
Computer category - it jumps from "Collections" to
"Concrete."
Along with many
newspapers, the Sacramento Bee's editorial position is that there is a shortage
of such workers:
Is the Bee willing
to disclose the influence that "CompeteAmerica" had on its 7/30/2004
editorial favoring an H-1B increase? Why won't the Bee report both sides - that
in most cases H-1B workers are displacing qualified Americans - that the 500,000
admitted in the past four years is resulting in an epidemic of "fake job
ads" www.programmersguild.org/RIR/
Today's Bee has only
one opening for an "Economist". The add reeks of a fake RIR ad. Sure enough,
CAISO has an LCA for an H-1B Economist - see below. (MA +3 years experience in
industry = $64k salary)
Consistent with
other FAKE RIR ads, the position of "Economist" is not listed among the "real job openings" at the CAISO
website:
Doesn't anyone find
that suspicious? Anyone care ask why? CAISO: 916-351-4400 - Never mind. I
called, pressed "4" for HR - "Kate" answered, who acknowledged that she placed
the ad. She says she has never heard of an RIR program - but
would not disclose info on H-1B workers - she said "recruiting" is
responsible for the website and directed her to run the ad, that I need to speak
with Debbie Martinez, who is out until Monday. (I told Kate who I was and why I
was calling. Indeed few Americans have heard of RIR because the media has
blacked out the issue.)
If I were to sit in
a car while I knew that a passenger was running in to steal a six-pack of beer,
I'd be considered an accessory to a crime. Accordingly, everyone on this
distribution is an accessory to defrauding Americans out of their
careers.
Sincerely,
Mr. Kim
Berry
