Lilly exposed

Quote






Well it's like my pa told me, whose pa told him, whose ma told him,

I used to wake up in the morning
I used to feel so bad
I got so sick of having sleepless nights
I went and told my dad

He said, 'Son now here's some little something'
And stuck them on my wall
And now my nights ain't quite so lonely
In fact I, I don't feel bad at all

Pictures of Lily made my life so wonderful
Pictures of Lily helped me sleep at night
Pitcures of Lily solved my childhood problems
Pictures of Lily helped me feel alright

Pictures of Lily
Lily, oh Lily
Lily, oh Lily
Pictures of Lily

And then one day things weren't quite so fine
I fell in love with Lily
I asked my dad where Lily I could find
He said, 'Son, now don't be silly'

'She's been dead since 1929'
Oh, how I cried that night
If only I'd been born in Lily's time
It would have been alright

Pictures of Lily made my life so wonderful
Pictures of Lily helped me sleep at night

For me and Lily are together in my dreams
And I ask you, 'Hey mister, have you ever seen'
'Pictures of Lily?'

And my daughter will say the same

And her son

And his daughter

Ad infinitum
 






Your jobs will go
Where bananas grow
Where life is cheap
And the people are slow
FIPNet Days, and FIPNet nights
The neverending lillylies..
EVERY...BODY....COME ON AND CELEBRATE
IT'S TIME FOR FIPNET...EVERY....BODY...COME ON AND PLANT SOME TREES!

Lilly says it opposes immigration measure
Major employer says law would hurt ability to attract top workers

The immigration reform measure before Indiana's Senate has drawn opposition from one of the state's largest employers.

Indianapolis drug maker Eli Lilly and Co. says Senate Bill 590 would give the world a poor image of Indiana.

The reform measure pits a populist reaction to the 120,000 undocumented workers in the state against a business community that says it must draw talented professionals from overseas.

Although the measure aims to usher out of the country those workers lacking proper federal documents, some corporate executives say they fear a backlash in the form of talented professionals steering clear of Indiana companies even if they can enter the country legally.

"Our ability to thrive in Indiana is dependent on an environment that is welcoming, and that is now threatened," said a statement from Lilly spokesman Ed Sagebiel.

Sen. Mike Delph, R-Carmel, has touted the reform bill for four years and this week finally got it before the entire Senate for consideration. He said "elites" oppose the bill because they overlook "working people."

"This is an overhwhelmingly popular thing with my constituents,'' Delph said, noting he represents a wide swath of Indianapolis. "Those businesses that violate the law and benefit from cheap labor need to stop it, or we're going to come after them."

But big businesses such as Lilly, the nation's No. 7 pharmaceutical company, have become increasingly global in the past decade. Spreading abroad, the companies hired smart immigrants and brought them legally to research centers in the United States to help them compete at a time when U.S. talent is considered scarce, especially in the sciences.

Lilly executives, scrambling to find new medicines needed to keep sales revenue strong, say that if the measure is passed, a backlash against the company could stifle that flow of talent from abroad.

"Anti-immigration and English-only legislation make it difficult to recruit new and educated workers and retain current employees in our Indiana communities, who simply will not move to and live in a state that is seen as unwelcoming," Sagebiel's statement says.

Lilly employs about 14,000 workers in the state, chiefly in Indianapolis, including hundreds of scientists, doctors, pharmacists and engineers who migrated from overseas.

Some Indiana executives prefer a federal solution to the nation's immigration problem that doesn't single out Indiana.

Delph counters that legal immigration practiced by the big companies is fine. But with no federal solution available, he said jobs taken away by undocumented workers willing to accept low wages are contributing in part to the state's high unemployment rate, 9.5 percent in December.

"I don't understand why a state that enforces the rule of law is going to hurt legitimate business interests," Delph said.

Delph's stand has gained wide support among conservative groups, although jobs are not always the foremost concern.

"This is a huge issue for us,'' said Rick Barr, a member of the Tea Party of Indianapolis steering committee. "But we come to it largely as a reference to a constitutional issue that is very important to us. We think there is more and more usurpation of state government rights by the federal government. We see illegal immigration more as an issue for a state to decide than as a federal issue."

Lilly joins Columbus-based diesel maker Cummins, another major employer, in opposing Senate Bill 590. Earlier, the Indiana Chamber of Commerce dropped its oppostion to the measure and took a neutral stance.

The chamber eased back after the original version of the measure was amended to remove a provision that would have penalized employers of undocumented workers.
 






Lilly generally does not have any *talented* non-H1 immigrant as far as I have known. However, the company may institute discrimination by hiring foreign H1 holder if their age, gender and qualification meet the education and experience reequirement. There might be a few dozen who meet such qualification. However, Lilly's opposition is counter to the Indiana state's urgent economic needs. Therefore, Indiana must act in its own interest since the law is not going to affect Lilly's economic bottom line significantly; whereas, the state may see a significant curbing on illegal sub-par paid immigrant slaves who will work for nothing if fed hamburger twice a day. However, Lilly's stand is rather to benefit other smaller companies who *do* hire illegal, undocumented immigrants.

Further, illegal, undocument immigrants *do* contribute to Indiana economy in a positive way that no educated Hoosier will do the menial, janitorial, or land development, or any job that will create a drop of sweat. Yes, the undocumented workers are nedded by businesses to keep them in the business. This shows hypocrasy on our government, our hoosier citizens and our businesses. If we are hiring illegel, undocumented immigrants, at least give them the respect of humanity that they need. Give them proper documentation as documented alien workers. It brings enormous happiness and relieves stress of being subjugated by police or employer mistreatment.

Lilly for that matter is hypocratic in taking such stand on such a flimsy account that it would prevent *talent* recruitment from the world around. If the law is passed, it may reduce Lilly's botom line by mere few thousand dollars, where as it creates a framework of justice and equality for seeking employment.
 






You are so right about lazy Hoosiers. For example, they sit back and blow imaginary smoke rings while thinking they really deserve the glory for Cialis, all the while having fired all the former INNOVATORS (at the former ICOS) without batting an eyebrow. Shameful. At least, they could have studied success, instead, they just spit on it.
