“In general, an employer could fire an employee for just about anything, including criticizing the company on social media or anywhere else,” said Jeffrey Hirsch, a professor of labor and employment law at the University of North Carolina.

From the article: "Most transgender employees (82%) have experienced discrimination or harassment at work at some point in their lives, according to a new report by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law. This includes being fired, not hired, not promoted, or being subjected to verbal, physical, or sexual harassment because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

"Transgender people report taking steps to mitigate discrimination and harassment at work. About one-third of transgender employees (36%) are not open about being transgender with their current supervisor. Additionally, most (71%) engage in covering behaviors, such as changing where, when, or how frequently they use the bathroom (39%) and altering their voice or mannerisms (46%) at work."

Headline: The Costly Business of Discrimination

While this article is over a decade old, the effects and costs of discrimination of LGBTQ people, especially Transgender people, have surely increased.

Source: Center for American Progress - Mar 22, 2012

From the article: "There’s a price to be paid for workplace discrimination—$64 billion. That amount represents the annual estimated cost of losing and replacing more than 2 million American workers who leave their jobs each year due to unfairness and discrimination.

"A significant number of those workers are gay and transgender individuals who have been treated unfairly simply because of their sexual orientation and gender identity. According to a recent survey, fully 42 percent of gay individuals say they have experienced some form of employment discrimination at some point in their lives. Transgender workers face even higher rates of workplace discrimination and harassment. An astonishing 90 percent of transgender individuals report experiencing some form of harassment, mistreatment, or discrimination on the job, or taking actions such as hiding who they are to avoid it. This includes 47 percent who said they had experienced an adverse job outcome such as being fired, denied employment, or not receiving a deserved promotion because of their gender identity."

I'd encourage anyone who works in #media and might be subject to #pressure from their #employer or #government or other outside forces to establish a #canary of some sort. It doesn't have to be daily but obviously that would be best. Something like "I haven't been pressured to use my platform for _____" you post regularly and won't post if that ever comes to pass...

telapost · What Happened to Reddit's Warrant Canary? - telapostLast week, a so-called “warrant canary” in Reddit’s 2014 transparency report — affirming that the company had never received a national security–related request for user information — disappeared from its 2015 report.

To me, the whole "H1-B is for when you simply cannot find a qualified citizen/green-card candidate" problem could be solved with what seems to me to be a missing requirement.

If you "can't find" a matching candidate, clearly you've already tried recruiting with generous compensation etc. So if you're forced to go outside the national labour pool, it should obviously be that anyone you hire on an H1-B is right at the top of your compensation, right?

i.e. hire an H1-B engineer, they had better be the highest-paid (or tied for highest) engineer in the company.

If you enforce that, the cheap-labour abuse just goes away...

But of course, every complex problem has a simple, easy to understand wrong answer, so maybe I'm missing something.
