indian_rediff writes: Businessweek has a story of a couple of 'IT consultants' that are in the US on H-1B visas and are suing their employer for underpaying them. Looks like the truth is out! The visa applications by Patni Computers stated that their regular salaries were going to be 44,000 "which it said was more than the $43,867 prevailing wage it determined for a midlevel programmer and analyst". It turns out that their "base salary was $23,310". Will we see the real truth behind the blood sucking consulting industry of imported labor?
