In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, the Signal Corporation imported hundreds of welders and pipefitters from India. Now we know why they imported workers. American welders and pipefitters wouldn't put up with this nonsense.
About 100 Indian pipefitters and welders held a rally in Washington, and met with their ambassador, Ronen Sen. They have filed suit against the Signal Corporation, accusing it of human trafficking.
They say they paid recruiters $20,000, after being promised good jobs and permanent U.S. residency. What they got were 10-month visas and inhumane living conditions.
The company denied the inhumane conditions and said they were "shocked" that the workers had been charged thousands of dollars. Personally, I'm getting a little tired of corporations shunning American workers. If they can't ship the job overseas, then they import workers to abuse.
We need to stop this now, or there soon won't be any jobs left for Americans outside of fast-food joints.
