IBM employee letter to NY Congressman Hall

Hi John:

I joined your Town Hall conference call Wednesday evening Feb. 12th,I had difficulty joining the call and missed some questions.
I have to declare due to the fact of the massive IBM layoffs in the Hudson Valley I was surprised not to hear this topic addressed.
I have just been laid off from IBM Research in Yorktown Heights NY, along with thousands of other IBM US employees.
The irony is these layoffs came a few days after IBM announced record profits.
It was also around this time IBM CEO met with President Obama regarding the creation of future IT jobs within the US. I guess it was a great photo op for Sam Palmisano"IBM CEO" the photo's were splashed all over IBM internal web sites.

To get to the point within IBM there appears to be a disturbing trend.
IBM is hiring foreign Post Docs on student visas such as H1B as supplemental workers; the older experienced US employees are asked to train them, after training IBM then layoff the older workers, after a certain amount of time to avoid litigation IBM hires full time the foreign Post Doc.
This trend appears to be a way for IBM to get cheap foreign labor, I presume this may be the trend throughout many US companies.
As a NY State Congressman you should take heed and visit IBM Research Division Yorktown Heights NY and take careful note of the vast amount of IBM non US employees at this site, as compared to 5-6 years ago. The numbers are astounding.
A year ago last November an older IBM colleague and personal friend was laid off after IBM hired a foreign Post Doc.
The older IBM'er trained the foreign Post Doc, the Post Doc then took over some of his tasks, eventually the IBM'er was informed that he will no longer be required and was laid off, he subsequently accuses his management of firing him in order to open a position for the foreigner, IBM management obviously denies the accusation.
Well guess what: he was laid off.
IBM after a certain period of time which probably avoids litigation concerns hire the Post Doc as a full time employee at a lower pay rate.
My case is similar, 2 years ago I worked with a excellent summer intern and recommended to my manager to hire this person.
Last August he hired this person who is now a Post Doc and foreign national on a student visa working as a supplemental IBM employee.
I was asked by my manager to train this person on very high tech specialized equipment.
During this period after reflecting on what happened to my friend it crossed my mind that I may be training my replacement.
Well guess what , I was right.
I have been with IBM for 22 years and had excellent yearly reviews.
My colleague was with IBM over 25 years and also had excellent reviews.

The US work force is in dire need of immediate assistance.
Not only do you see foreign workers taking US high tech jobs it is the same story throughout all US industry.
Last April I spoke with laid off construction workers in San Francisco California who are being replaced by mainly illegal latino's who are taking advantage of the sanctuary city policy and pricing local workers out of the jobs market.

My question is :
WHEN and HOW or IF, you and your colleagues in Congress intend to address the sheer undermining of the US work force.
Like most US citizens it is my opinion these concerns will fall on deaf ears.
The US citizens approval rating for Congress clearly reflects my opinion.

Prove me wrong
