YouTube video exposes Pittsburgh law firm advising businesses on how to avoid hiring Americans


Information Week reported on a YouTube video that shows a Pittsburgh law firm, Cohen & Grigsby, holding a conference in which they tell attendees how to avoid having to hire American workers while minimally satisfying the requirements of the law.

The Cohen & Grigsby people in the video suggest advertising positions in places where qualified American workers are least likely to see the ads. They also advise how to screen applications that arrive from American workers to quickly disqualify them on technical grounds and avoid having to interview American applicants. Very qualified American applicants are interviewed for the purpose of finding a legal basis for disqualifying them. The point is to satisfy the legal requirements to demonstrate that no qualified Americans are available so a company can get a green card for a foreign worker.
