Ethics dunces award and Immigration Scandal
In August 2007, Cohen & Grigsby was the object of a congressional investigation and the inauspicious Ethics Dunces Award from ProEthics Ltd. In a video of a marketing seminar, featured speaker and Cohen & Grigsby Marketing director, Lawrence Lebowitz explains methods employers can use to skirt US immigration laws and disqualify American job applicants in favor of hiring foreign workers. Lebowitz coached the audience on how use technicalities to avoid hiring US applicants and hire foreign workers instead.
- Our goal is clearly not to find a qualified and interested U.S. worker. And you know, in a sense that may sound funny, but it's what we are trying to do here. We are complying with the law, fully, but our objective is to get this person a greencard." --Lawrence Lebowitz
Norm Matloff, a Computer Science professor with the University of California at Davis, spoke with the Christian Science Monitor, stating that there is nothing new in the video and that he had received a document listing numerous methods to deny employment to U.S. professionals in favor of foreign workers. The Programmers Guild was able to make a short Fair Use video segment prior to the removal of the entire series from the originally posted YouTube channel. Lou Dobbs reported on the issue and Senator Chuck Grassley and Representative Lamar S. Smith approached the Department of Labor seeking an investigation.
