What started as a simple marketing video for Downtown law firm Cohen & Grigsby has resulted in an Internet firestorm encompassing tens of thousands of YouTube viewers, Lou Dobbs and the U.S. Secretary of Labor. |
The video features portions of Cohen & Grigsby’s “Seventh Annual Immigration Law Update,” held May 15 at the Pittsburgh Hilton, Downtown. |
“Our goal is clearly not to find a qualified and interested U.S. worker,” said partner Lawrence Lebowitz on the video. “And, you know, that in a sense that sounds funny, but it’s what we’re trying to do here.” |
| What made the video into such an Internet hit, said Mr. Berry, is that it validated long-held suspicions that he and others had been unable to substantiate. |
“It’s proof from the attorneys themselves that they are getting resumes from qualified Americans and they are going through all sorts of steps so that Americans don’t get jobs,” he said. “It shows what’s really happening behind the curtain.” |
