Relaunched under the umbrella organization United Information Workers
Organization to benefit (some) computer programmers
Programmers Guild[1] is the name of an attorney-founded group[2] intended to protect legal hi-tech immigrants to the United States and help them in obtaining Green cards. The New York Times called them a trade group[3] and, in 2016, a "tech worker organization."[4] It also serves as a job search clearing house.[5][6]
The Guild has been described as "a nonprofit group with a volunteer staff."[7][8] It was founded in 1998,[9] and won in a case it filed 2006 with the US Department of Justice.[10][11]
The Programmers Guild was an active participant in various legislative hearings,[12] and companies such as Intel, Microsoft and Oracle supported them.[1] Their use of the term guild was part of a CNN headline: "IT guild: A once and future union?"[13] and the article evaluated the term union, noting that computer professionals are already members of large long standing organizations such as Communications Workers of America and International Federation for Professional and Technical Engineers.
