United States (US) government has opened an investigation against two
of the biggest Indian Information Technology (IT) outsourcing
companies for possible violations of H1-B visa rules. The two IT
giants are Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Infosys.
The investigation is being carried by US Department of Labour for
against both companies for possible violations of rules for visas for
foreign technology workers under contracts they held with an electric
utility Southern California Edison.
US Department of Labour investigation move comes after the power
company had recently had laid off more than 500 technology workers
from US. These laid off workers were made to train their replacements
who were immigrants on the temporary work visas brought in by the
Indian firms.
Prior to this, around 250 employees at entertainment giant Walt Disney
were laid off and replaced with Indians holding H1B visas.
