Excercises in Humiliation
"It is unconscionable that American workers have been forced to train foreign guest worker replacements as a condition for a few weeks more employment, only then to be fired from their jobs.
A tragic example of the consequences of such a situation involved Mr. Kevin Flanagan of Silicon Valley, who took his own life last year after being given a pink slip when his job was outsourced overseas. Mr. Flanagan's father told the press after his son's tragic death that his son and fellow workers were totally disgusted that they had to train foreign workers to take over their jobs."
