Tell Congress: Tech workers need balanced immigration reform
The following is from the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace, IFPTE 2001:
(Sept. 18, 2013) — Now that the immigration reform debate has shifted from the U.S. Senate to the House of Representatives, our representatives in Congress have been hearing directly from technical and professional workers about how drastic expansions of the H-1B and other high-tech foreign worker visa programs threaten the careers and jobs of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) workers.
TAKE A STAND! — SPEEA is asking all union members and supporters to join technical and professional workers in urging Congress to include key worker protections in the immigration reform bills now before the House.
