Cultural Sunday This turning point will be remembered. It is only growing. To be clear on blind they are freaking out. I am scrolling through so many managers, employees, and businesses changing direction right now. Imagine being a foreigner on a work visa in America right now. Or imagine being the employer who brought them in. Every few days brings a new rule, a new fee, a new investigation. Stories break about crime or corruption tied to certain foreign labor groups. Mass deportation headlines. Uncertainty everywhere. The dream has become a nightmare. Companies are learning their lobbyists cannot protect them forever. H1B job posts asking why no American can be found are ruining the reputation of universities and employers alike. Politicians are frozen. The ones who try to speak in favor of this system are getting blasted. Now those on an H1B are panicking. It does not take much to lose the position. It does not matter if a buddy has a job waiting. The day the assignment ends, the clock starts. This is not how it ends. This is how it starts. A concerted pushback is building across the political spectrum. More champions every week. Americans are tired of being told they are not needed in their own country. High-trust societies put their own people first. We stopped doing that. The consequences are now impossible to ignore. The correction is underway. What are you seeing in your own industry?

Call to Action** The EEOC is asking American workers to report anti-American discrimination. Again - no report no action. They need folks to come forward and report it. Even if you filed a NDA - the language may look as if you cannot but... An NDA does not give the company the right to block a report to the federal government. You can still file with the EEOC, the Department of Labor, USCIS, ICE, or an Inspector General. That is not the same as posting the file online. If you have a signed agreement, talk to a lawyer before you talk to anyone else. Do not let the paperwork talk you out of the agency. If you were laid off and then required to train a visa holder who took your job, that is the scenario they named. The same is true if you were passed over because you are American, shut out of meetings that left English, or watched a workplace stop hiring local people and fill the seats from abroad. The Commission is treating that as national origin discrimination under Title VII. Chair Andrea Lucas asked the public to file charges. A request with no filings is only a statement. File through the official channels. EEOC Public Portal: publicportal.eeoc.gov/portal… EEOC page on discrimination against American workers: eeoc.gov/discrimination-agai… EEOC phone: 1-800-669-4000 Time limits apply. In many cases you have 180 days. In many states it is 300. Do not wait. Visa fraud, false wage attestations, and petitions that do not match the actual job also belong with the inspectors. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division: 1-866-487-9243 USCIS tip form: uscis.gov/report-fraud/uscis… ICE tip line: 1-866-347-2423 DHS Office of Inspector General: 1-800-323-8603 oig.dhs.gov/hotline EEOC Office of Inspector General: 1-800-840-3237 oig.eeoc.gov/hotline Write down dates, job titles, who gave the order, and who received the work. Agencies cannot act on a vague complaint. They can act on a record. Quote or reply to @USEEOC and @AndreaLucasEEOC if you file, so the campaign is more than a video. Question: Have you been required to train a replacement, or have you watched English become a second language where you work? File the charge. Then say so.
