1) An avenue for members of the workforce to report H-1B abuse. People on H-1B are offered some protection against retaliation.
2) Targeted onsite visits at worksites of employers who have larger fraction of their employees on H-1Bs, and those who sent employees to other locations.
Together, this seems to be aimed at curbing H-1B abuse by staffing companies. Some Silicon Valley employers - like Apple, Cisco etc - who use these staffing companies extensively might also be affected. But overall, this should be good news for both H-1B employees and citizens/permanent residents.
It would be useful if workers in such companies would take "before" pictures now of places where openings are supposed to be posted (e.g. lunchrooms, other common areas) and see how much change there is over the next few weeks.
"Why are there a couple of dozen job postings put up in the lunchroom all of a sudden? They've never been there before."
