ParticipantI’ll say again – Unionize IT workers and never deal with 3rd party recruiters.
Based on my experience, dealing with 3rd party recruiters is a complete waste of time.
Recruiters are like Realtors of the IT world – bottom feeders that will suck the life out of you among other things.
I’d rather stand in an unemployment line than deal with an IT recruiter.

[/quote]The union would need to be like SAG. Can you imagine on-going royalty payments IT work?
Or are you thinking more of a UAW style union where the IT workers can put in their time and be told what to do?
I’ve worked in enough big places to know the worst IT workers to deal with are those that are putting in their time.
At the same time, I call BS on H1Bs. The problem with H1Bs isn’t that companies cannot find the skills. They cannot find the skills at the prices they want to pay. And frankly, I’m tired of seeing the semi-sweat shop conditions and questionable arrangements that many H1Bs are placed in by 3rd party contracting firms.

Participantdd123 – would it be inappropriate to ask what company? I’m very curious who is looking for good IT people. Thanks.
