Hyatt Workers Train Their H-2B Replacements!
The story of Americans being forced to train their foreign H-1B/L-1 replacements is very common in computer/IT and engineering.

To add insult to injury politicians continue to insist Americans don't have the skills to compete. The situation unfolding at a Hyatt hotel in Boston is a slightly different situation because it involves the H-2B visa. Until now there was an
assumption that the forced training wouldn't happen with H-2B because the jobs are typically lower skilled and lower paying, and therefore less of a target for this type of corporate cannibalism.

They are using a bodyshop called Hospitality Staffing Solutions to import the laborers Download JobDestruction Newsletter No. 205
