"This week, the pharmaceutical giant Merck announced it will cut 8,500 jobs in an effort to remain competitive in a rapidly changing drug industry. Earlier this year, Merck announced plans to cut 7,500 jobs, bringing the total of workers let go to 16,000. In all, Merck intends to lay off one out of every five of its employees. At the same time, top Merck officials are urging Congress to loosen the nation's immigration laws to allow more foreign workers into the United States. In a Sept. 10 letter to House Speaker John Boehner and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Merck Executive Vice President for Human Resources Mirian Graddick-Weir urged that the U.S. admit more high- and low-skilled immigrants to "address the reality that there is a global war for talent" and to "align our nation's immigration policies with its workforce needs at all skill levels to ensure U.S. global competitiveness." What did these companies do 30 years ago? Are we going to depress wages even more to be "more competitive"? http://washingtonexaminer.com/article/2536800
They have to make way for............ They did the same in 2010. Let's see our country is exporting companies and jobs and importing workers to take the jobs that are still here......That's the Democrats jobs plan?
Future generations will look at this post cold war liberal era as one of the craziest time periods in human history. Why are we letting this happen? Why arent we standing up to these liberal (=libertarian as americans would say) criminals?
