UCSF Outsourcing Tech Jobs And Brazilian Labor Struggles
WorkWeek looks at the outsourcing of high tech jobs at UCSF and also other outsourcing of work. We interview Robert Harrison, a tech worker who was forced to train H1B workers to replace himself and other workers. We also interview Lisa Milos, a UCSF interpreter and rank and file member of UPTE-CWA. She discusses the outsourcing of interpreter jobs.
Next WorkWeek looks at the crisis and attacks on workers in Brazil with Herbert Claros da Silva who is with the Brazilian labor federation CSP Conlutas and is an Embraer mechanic and vice-presidente do Sindicato dos Metalúrgicos de São Jose dos Campos e região.
