AS CEO BOB IGER LAUGHS IT WITH HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF TAKE HOME PAY FROM DISNEY–HIS GOAL TO REPLACE AMERICAN WORKERS WITH H-1B VISAS FOREIGN WORKERS MOVES FORWARD AS FIRED WORKERS ARE FORCED TO TRAIN THE FOREIGN REPLACEMENT EMPLOYEE

The New York Times published a troubling report Thursday highlighting the trend among American corporations of hiring outsourcing firms to replace their tech employees with foreign workers brought into the country on temporary H-1B visas. In many cases, the fired employees are then compelled to stay on and train their foreign replacements:

While families rode the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and searched for Nemo on clamobiles in the theme parks, these workers monitored computers in industrial buildings nearby, making sure millions of Walt Disney World ticket sales, store purchases and hotel reservations went through without a hitch. Some were performing so well that they thought they had been called in for bonuses.

Instead, about 250 Disney employees were told in late October that they would be laid off. Many of their jobs were transferred to immigrants on temporary visas for highly skilled technical workers, who were brought in by an outsourcing firm based in India. Over the next three months, some Disney employees were required to train their replacements to do the jobs they had lost.
