Submission + - Tata and Other Bias Cases May Shake IT Industry (bloomberglaw.com) 2
jeffkoch writes: Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. faces a trial in November on allegations that it discriminates against U.S.-born workers in favor of South Asian workers in the country on H-1B visas. The outcome could wreak havoc within the information technology staffing industry, which relies heavily on the “specialty occupation” visas as part of its business model, Laura D. Francis reports.
The class action against TCS is one of seven bias cases pending in federal court against IT staffing companies with roots in India or Sri Lanka. The companies also happen to be some of the biggest users of the H-1B program.
