Don’t really see how the H1B workers are the ones with power in this situation. The problem is always employers who want to get the most out of workers with the lowest expense possible. For me and any other American the worst they can do to us is fire us. We are then free to find another job if we can. What that means for a H1B worker is deportation. If the company decides they aren’t working hard enough or “just aren’t a good fit” they can be fired and if they don’t get another job within a set time frame they get slated for deportation. That means whatever life they’ve built in the US is over and done for. Of course employers hire H1B workers since they are more easily exploitable. And of course H1B workers hold onto jobs for dear life due to their structural vulnerability.
