Feeling the wind through my hair

I love riding on my motorcycle; feeling the wind through my hair (fur). As with any biking enthusiast, owning a Harley-Davidson bike shows you made it.

However, news this weekend should make every bike owner, and American, disgusted at the mere mention of the name Harley-Davidson from now on. Their tag line is An American Legend.

Well, not so much anymore.....

Harley-Davidson is using the H-1B guest worker visa program to REPLACE American workers for those from Asia and India at a lower wage. The purpose of the program is to allow foreigners special access to America if they can fill jobs that no American is capable of or willing to do. A recently laid off tech support worker is suing Harley-Davidson after she was laid off for a replacement from India. You go girl!

To be fair (as fair as I can through my outrage), other companies have been doing the same thing without consequence.

So, I guess if you want your job, you really can't keep it either!
