Arriving in record numbers, they’re ending up in dangerous jobs that violate #ChildLabor laws — including in factories that make products for well-known brands like #Cheetos and #FruitOfTheLoom.

“India’s total workforce is approximately 470 million in strength. Of this, about 80 million workers are in the organised sector, while the remaining 390 million – more than the entire population of the United States – are in the unorganised sector.” : India’s National Sample Survey Organization.

“Those of us who are trying to wrest from the ruins of industrial civilization the possibility of an ecological civilization have to reckon with the fact that every civilization to have existed up until this point has been imperial and exploitative of people through various forms of slavery and economic oppression, and through its extractive relationship to the natural world…”

These IMM WKRs are central. The work ethic & steadfast organizing of the ppl: transcends pol activism & approaches something timeless.

“Empire of #AI”: #KarenHao on How AI Is Threatening #Democracy & Creating a New #Colonial World
June 04, 2025 via @DemocracyNow_Headlines_rss
"The new book #EmpireOfAI by longtime technology reporter Karen Hao unveils the accruing political and economic power of AI companies — especially Sam Altman’s OpenAI. Her reporting uncovered the #exploitation of #workers in #Kenya, attempts to take massive amounts of freshwater from communities in #Chile, along with numerous accounts of the technology’s detrimental impact on the environment. 'This is an extraordinary type of AI development that is causing a lot of #social, #labor and #environmental harms,' says Hao."

There is something quite disorientating about seeing a job advertisement for Father Christmas…in June…on a zero hours contract…which pays in one hour possibly close to what his employers charge per individual child visit.

But the #PERM system also takes a toll on its supposed beneficiaries, the temporary #employees seeking permanent residency. Even after their PERM applications are approved, they must typically wait >10yrs before getting a #GreenCard, a long wait even by the standards of the US #immigration system. In the interim,it can be hard for them to leave their sponsoring employers,exposing them to overwork at jobs that often pay less than what their American counterparts receive.

This makes for a highly ironic juxtaposition: pages of print ads paid for by #tech #employers, many of them the same Silicon Valley giants that have helped eviscerate newspaper classifieds & drive down print newspaper circulation to the point that it can be hard even to find a place to buy a paper in many communities.

It’s no surprise that the efforts at this point can be less than sincere.
This is where the [endless & deceptive] newspaper ads come in. Under US Dept of #Labor rules dating back to the era before the worldwide web, employers must post the #job for which #PERM certification is being sought for 30 days with a state workforce agency & in 2 successive Sunday newspapers in the job’s location.

Last December, a tiff erupted between billionaire entrepreneurs #ElonMusk & #VivekRamaswamy, on the one side, & #MAGA champions including #SteveBannon, over the formers’ claims that #H1B workers are needed because the homegrown #tech workforce is inadequate. But almost as quickly as it started, the spat vanished from the news.
Fortgeführter Thread
It is a process that nearly everyone involved admits is nonsensical, highly vulnerable to abuse, as well as a contributor to inequities among domestic & foreign #tech #workers.
Yet the system has endured for decades, largely out of public view. There is occasional debate over the ~120k workers from overseas who are awarded #H1B #visas every year for temporary high-skilled employment.
