Techs Unite Has a Message for Microsoft's Bill Gates

Members of Washtech, CWA Local 37083 and TechsUnite have a message for Microsoft Corp. Chairman Bill Gates: it's time to tell the real story about what's happening in the high tech industry in the United States. 

Gates is a big proponent of allowing unlimited numbers of H1-B visa holders to work in the United States, at the expense of U.S. workers who have been laid off throughout the industry. In recent testimony to the Senate, Gates said, "I don't think there should be any limit" on the number of H1-B visas issued. These visas enable companies like Microsoft to hire workers from overseas for up to seven years, at reduced wages, while U.S. workers have suffered from layoffs and job loss.
