Laid-Off Americans, Required to Zip Lips on Way Out, Grow Bolder

LIBERTYVILLE, Ill. — American corporations are under new scrutiny from federal lawmakers after well-publicized episodes in which the companies laid off American workers and gave the jobs to foreigners on temporary visas.

But while corporate executives have been outspoken in defending their labor practices before Congress and the public, the American workers who lost jobs to global outsourcing companies have been largely silent.

Until recently. Now some of the workers who were displaced are starting to speak out, despite severance agreements prohibiting them from criticizing their former employers.

From the article...

“I’ve been laid off before, I can understand that,” he said. “But these visas were meant to fill in gaps for resources that are hard to find. This time the company actually asked me to transfer my knowledge to somebody else. That changes the equation.”

There are millions of businesses in the US, how many federal governments are there? How many businesses control the borders and the airports? How many businesses pass and enforce the laws that govern our country?

The government is supposed to do what's best for the people and the businesses are supposed to do what's best for the businesses.

Who's failing at their job?
