UCSF tech workers on February 28, 2017 spoke out about the outsourcing of their jobs to India and the use of H-1B immigrant workers to train replacement of their jobs to India. The UC Regents and managers say they will save $30 million over 5 years. Workers also reported that UC managers will receive bonuses from the university for outsourcing their job and saving money. The tech workers who are exempt from union membership were joined by UPTE CWA Local 9119 members who supported their fight against contracting out and outsourcing of many jobs at UCSF.
The workers also discussed the refusal of the Democrats who control the governorship and legislature to opposed the outsourcing. Gavin Newsom is on the Board of Regents yet there was not opposition to the outsourcing. Also Senator Feinstein whose husband Dick Blum on the Regents Board refused to respond to tech workers who wrote to her to get support. The University gets billions of dollars from the Federal government.
