DESCRIPTION:2/28 SF Press Conference Protesting Outsourcing and Firing of 49 Tech 
 Workers From UCSF\nTUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28 at 9A.M. At UCSF Mission Center, 
 1855 Folsom Street, San Francisco\nFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE\n\nFebruary 27, 
 2017\n\nUniversity of California Terminates IT Workers In Favor Of H1-B 
 Workers\n\nPRESS CONFERENCE SCHEDULED TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28 at 9A.M. At UCSF 
 Mission Center, 1855 Folsom Street, San Francisco\n\n49 Career UCSF 
 Information Technology (IT) employees are scheduled to be terminated 
 February 28, 2017 in favor of employees from HCL Technologies (HCL), an 
 Indian IT services Company.\n\nMany of the impacted IT Workers will be 
 holding a protest on Tuesday, February 28th at 9 A.M. as they collectively 
 leave UCSF Mission Bay carrying boxes of their personal items.\n\nJ. Gary 
 Gwilliam, Esq. the lawyer for many of the employees set to be terminated 
 tomorrow states:\n\n“This is the first time that a Public University has 
 replaced American workers with H1-B visa foreign workers. UCSF is abusing 
 the Visa program by bringing in foreign workers when there are qualified 
 American workers already performing this sensitive work which includes 
 handling patient medical records. These Career workers are very concerned 
 about the security of the outsourced medical records. This layoff is of 
 major significance and has already received attention from 
 Congress.”\n\nRandall E. Strauss, Esq. co-counsel for many of the 
 impacted employees states:\n\n“It is deplorable to think that these 
 American workers have been training their H1-B replacements since July 
 2016. UCSF gave their managers discretion as to selecting who would be 
 terminated and across the board managers selected older well qualified 
 workers setting up the stage for additional charges of age, nationality and 
 national origin discrimination”\n\nOur clients will be present at the 
 Press Conference and are available for comments. \n
