There's an old saying having its genesis in the stock market to the effect that bulls and bears have their ups and downs, but only the pigs get slaughtered.
And a hundred+ of those pigs went public with their squeal today.
On Tuesday, the chief human resources officers of more than 100 large corporations sent a letter to House Speaker John Boehner and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi urging quick passage of a comprehensive immigration reform bill.
...at the same time the corporate officers seek higher numbers of
immigrants, both low-skill and high-skill, many of their companies are
laying off thousands of workers.
For example, Hewlett-Packard, whose Executive Vice President for
Human Resources Tracy Keogh signed the letter, laid off 29,000 employees
in 2012. In August of this year, Cisco Systems, whose Senior Vice
President and Chief Human Resources Officer Kathleen Weslock signed the
letter, announced plans to lay off 4,000 — in addition to 8,000 cut in
the last two years. United Technologies, whose Senior Vice President of
Human Resources and Organization Elizabeth B. Amato signed the letter,
announced layoffs of 3,000 this year. American Express, whose Chief
Human Resources Officer L. Kevin Cox signed the letter, cut 5,400 jobs
this year. Procter & Gamble, whose Chief Human Resources Officer
Mark F. Biegger signed the letter, announced plans to cut 5,700 jobs in
2012....
Belling seems to think that the anti-Ryan (immigration) ads are from Lefty activists.
And I suppose that Belling considers Big Biz to be Rightist? He ought to know better.
Frankly, I'm an American--and to me, this letter is both shameful and disgusting.
There will be all the usual mumbo-jumbo from these jackwads about "re-alignment," "different skills," "strategic re-assessment" and "plant consolidation," almost every word of which can be translated thus: "We don't really give a shit about the people who work(ed) for us. We won't relocate them, and we won't re-train them. F*&^ 'em."
Eight dollars an hour and no benefits (let the taxpayers eat the cost of ObozoCare).
Makes one want to change the tax rates for these folks, ain'a?

It's a company's prerogative to hire and lay-off who they want. Remember, they have political and economic rights. It's all about making as much money as possible, the American Way!
"Makes one want to change the tax rates for folks, ain'a?"
Yeah, rates need adjusting for folks at the top end who are back on their feet. Big Business directs Obozo, whose every act benefits Wall St. Hey, oil prices have fallen since the Ruskies fixed the Syria problem!
We can't leave without a Gloria dios to the popozo for endorsing a married priesthood today. Catholic Family Values over rule non-scriptural tradition and .
..all
Blacks and reds and browns are God's children. Why do you hate God, deranged anony?
