IT Worker's Lawsuit Accuses Tata of Discrimination
dcblogs writes An IT worker is accusing Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) of discriminating against American workers and favoring "South Asians" in hiring and promotion. It's backing up its complaint, in part, with numbers. The lawsuit, filed this week in federal court in San Francisco, claims that 95% of the 14,000 people Tata employs in the U.S. are South Asian or mostly Indian. It says this practice has created a "grossly disproportionate workforce." India-based Tata achieves its "discriminatory goals" in at least three ways, the lawsuit alleges. First, the company hires large numbers of H-1B workers. Over from 2011 to 2013, Tata sponsored nearly 21,000 new H-1B visas, all primarily Indian workers, according to the lawsuit's count. Second, when Tata hires locally, "such persons are still disproportionately South Asian," and, third, for the "relatively few non-South Asians workers that Tata hires," it disfavors them in placement, promotion and termination decisions.
Corporations are people to, and they speak; how?
"How" is American Indian. South Asian Indian is "Namaste".
Depends on definition of 'equal work'. I'm not sure if American workers are as good in reverting mails and doing the needful.
Nature's pillows.
So, how did she do?
Remember, for all those H1B's, they diligently posted ads advertising each job locally and couldn't find any qualified applicants. Otherwise, it would be illegal.

Needed:
IT professional, speaks excellent Hindi, Tamil a bonus. Should have full understanding of Tata's "international" management culture. Minimum 5 years experience in southern Asia. Should have at least two days experience with Oracle and excellent customer expectation realignment skills..
The sad thing is that once upon a time (around e.g. 2000) Indian IT bods almost all really were good. Those guys all went into management. Now the clowns from Tata and WiPro will turn anything they touch to shit.
