Thread regarding CIGNA Corp. layoffs

Per Hartford, Conn. NBC channel 30, Cigna Insurance is replacing hundreds of American workers with Satyam India employees. They reported there are over 20K unemployed Conn. IT workers. DOL reports Conn. has over 70K non-immigrant temporary workers. The CIGNA internal memo stated ''in order to drive the replacement of local consultants to Satyam consultants we have put in place a closed loop process to provide Satyam first right of refusal for all consultant requests.'' Regarding the 70K workers, that would be H–1b visa holders. No one knows details regarding L–1s because the Freedom of Information Act seems to not apply to L–1s. The BCIS/INS refuses to disclose this information.) http://commdocs.house.gov/committees/intlrel/hfa91679.000/hfa91679_0.htm#108
