ITServe Alliance (Tech Serve Lobby)" https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGnMgJBwBZ--3SroasXz6AA

Summary:
Rahul Reddy and Satish Manduva are discussing that the upcoming Executive Action to provide EADs to Green Card backlogged employees (who have maintained legal status for 10+ years) will impact their business and cause employees to move to better opportunities. They are discussing collecting money to file a lawsuit against USCIS if they provide EAD for backlogged employees.

Though this is not against law, it is completely against the spirit of legal immigrant community and unfair to American Workers because chained H1b employees put downward pressure on IT salaries.


Details
Rahul Reddy and Satish Manduva are speaking at a meeting of ITServe Alliance. They are speaking about filing a lawsuit again II40EAD Executive Action. I140-EAD was planned to part of the executive action to provide some relief to legal immigrants who have already been on h1b and green card backlog for more than 10 years. If the Executive Action had worked, many backlogged legal immigrants would get Employment Authorization Document freeing them from the chains for their IT employers and enable them to seek better salary.

In this meeting, Rahul Reddy and Satish Manduva are goading IT employers to collect money and file a lawsuit claiming  if visa numbers are not available then USCIS is not supposed to be adjudicating the cases.  If  EAD is provided, then Satish Manduva claims that employees will leave in 1 year instead of 5+ years they serve because they will be released early from their H1b/I140 shackles..

Satish Manduva says that they are working with another organization called TechServe to file a lawsuit against the executive action. TechServe has reserved 25k/250K and ITServe has to gather rest of the money. They are asking each of the member of ITServe to contribute 1000 to get a total of 75/750K to file the lawsuit

Mr. Rahul Reddy, asks Satish Manduva to take over the case and not rely on TechServe. He wants Mr. Manduva to get the money and hire a law firm to fight over the case. At one point, Mr Reddy asks if there is any one in attendance who cannot contribute 1000 to file the lawsuit. He also says that he is going to send a list of points to speak against the Visa Bulletin.

Also, in the discussion they talk about divorcing from TechServe because of some disagreement in the past. Satish Manduva says  "Some claimed companies in the foreground and We (ITServe) being in the background" , which seems to allude that their alliance is like an iceberg where there are bunch of front facing companies and other puppet master behind the screen directing this or previous lawsuit.


My Comment:
The  point here is not that, the activities of  these folks are illegal, but this is completely against the spirit of legal immigration. Chaining IT Employees to certain companies using H1b and I140 restriction is unethical. It is especially unethical when many of the employees have been stuck for a decade+ time frame. This hurts American workers as well because this whole charade puts a downward pressure on IT wages. 

If you are a client of Reddy and Neumann lawfirm and legal immigrant, you should really ask yourself if what they are doing is ethical ? If you are an employee with any of the companies as part of IT Serve Alliance, you must know that the company is working against you to keep you chained for multiple decades.

The decision is in your hand !
