Work visa debate shifts from H-1B to L-1 visas
AFL-CIO and IEEE-USA say L-1 is not intended for outsourcers, fire back at Chamber of Commerce and IT firms looking to White House for visa changes

The L-1 battle got even bigger this week.

In separate letters sent on Tuesday, the labor union AFL-CIO and the IEEE-USA professional organization warned the White House against undermining U.S. worker protections in the L-1 visa by accepting changes recommended by more than 60 firms and organizations, including IT outsourcing firms and the U.S Chamber of Commerce.
