...if you are an immigrant...
As OneNewsNow reports, an attorney representing laid-off Disney workers claims the Fortune 500 company broke federal laws when it replaced them with immigrants.
Attorney Sara Blackwell filed a federal lawsuit this week on behalf of two former tech employees of Disney after the corporation hired H-1B visa recipients from overseas.
The employees were among approximately 250 laid off approximately a year ago, and some of them have filed complaints with the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission, The Orlando Sentinel reported.
Blackwell tells OneNewsNow she is accusing Disney of violating Title VII, which bans discrimination under the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The lawsuit also accuses Disney of RICO-like violations, claiming it colluded with two hiring firms to misrepresent hiring plans in visa paperwork.
If a judge dismisses the lawsuit, Blackwell says, "I have 31 other plaintiffs that I can bring. It's not going to stop me."
Disney said in a statement that the lawsuits are "based on an unsustainable legal theory and are a misrepresentation of the facts."
Congratulations, you're going to unemployment-land...
