- Vance accused Microsoft of abusing PERM, which generally considers whether qualified, available US workers could fill roles.
- Keith Sonderling named six other companies: Cognizant, Infosys, Tata, Wipro, HCL Technologies, and Capgemini.
- In the last fiscal year, Microsoft said roughly 80% of about 6,000 H-1B applications concerned existing employees; the remainder equaled 1% of its US workforce.
- The Labor Department said PERM applications took an average of 336 calendar days to process in August.
If you do the math, for every worker that Microsoft laid off, they replaced that worker with one and a half foreign indentured servants.— Vance said at a press conference announcing PERM changes
