My guess is that they thought that Bush was still President and they could do anything they wanted.....

Ever heard of Electronics for Imaging? We hadn't either until this morning, but it's apparently a multimillion dollar, multinational, public corporation based out of Fremont, California. And the United States Department of Labor just caught EFI red-handed in an investigation, which found that "about eight employees" were flown in from India to work 120-hour weeks for $1.21 per hour. EFI apparently thought it was okay to pay the employees the same wages they'd be paid in India (in Indian rupees). Here's the unbelievably crazy sounding quote EFI gave to NBC's Bay Area affiliate: "We unintentionally overlooked laws that require even foreign employees to be paid based on local US standards."

But of course Californians are too stupid to realize Obama is President.

Try again?

Obama? Bush? It makes no difference. Globalists are all the same. Every last one of them want a one world socialist government with themselves picking the winners and the losers.
 
Yes, indentured slaves. The Chinese are bad about it too, as are the Pakistanis. I can almost guarantee that the owner/owners of this company are Indian immigrants who are native to the area where these laborers were flown in from. That's the way it works. But I wouldn't be throwing stones in glass houses. The democrats drag slaves up here from Latin America by the millions, don't they?

You nailed it. I've seen the exact same thing with an indian owned machine shop.
They hired a bunch of white guys to train the indians thinking they'd keep the white guys around just long for the indians to become proficient.
Unfortunately the dumb ass indians didnt realize it takes many years to become a good machinist.
Most shops run about a 3% scrap rate. These dumb fucks were running at around 60%. But when you're paying em three bucks an hour......
 
Republicans and their financiers, corporate America, fucking the American worker.

No, it's the unions who did that.
These jerks (unions) demanded outrageous wages for insignificant labor output at jobs that could be - and now IS - performed by robots, smarter than the incompetent boobs who need a bully unionist to speak and bargain for them.

It's corporate greed and profiteering.
 
Blame Bush? Listen up liberal hypocrites, the propaganda source that libs depend on, Media Matters, is incorporated, tax exempt and bankrolled by one of the biggest corporate pirates around. George Soros should be everything liberals hate but instead he is revered by freaking hypocrite lefties because he is a fellow traveler.

I can assure you that NOBODY in the Bay area thinks Bush is President ... although the Bay area is full of really stupid Liberals.

LOL What does this have to do with Bush?

I guess you did not read about the company itself. It is owned and operated by a Democrat who backed Ro Khanna,, another democrat that was the Deputy Assistant Secretary in the United States Department of Commerce under President Barack Obama.

Ro Khanna is running for the US House of Representatives democratic seat, and guess whose name they just scrubbed from his list of donors and supporters? Yes, that's right CEO of EFI, Guy Gecht. :lmao:

Ro Khanna - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

Using illegals/migrants as cheap labor is what drives down wages and living standards. Though if this company is any example, the under the counter workforce won't disappear any time soon
