Lawsuit: Indian Managers Use H-1Bs to Discriminate Against Americans
Breitbart ^ | 5/1/2020 | neil munro

Posted on 05/01/2020 2:42:35 PM PDT by bkopto

An Indian-run outsourcing company used Congress’s H-1B visa-worker program to systematically discriminate against American college graduates, according to a class-action lawsuit filed in New Jersey.

The company, named Wipro, “operates under a general policy of discrimination in favor of [imported] South Asians and against [American] individuals who are not South Asian and not Indian,” says the lawsuit, which was filed in New Jersey.

Wipro has about 22 offices and 15,000 employees in the United States.

The lawsuit cited the experience of four American professionals who were sidelined by the Indian managers in the United States:

In 2015, it became evident that Wipro was trying to get rid of Mr. [James] Gibbs. For instance, Mr. Rambhatla quadrupled Mr. Gibbs’ sales and margin quotas to levels that appeared unrealistic. Nevertheless, Mr. Gibbs was able to meet these quotas.

At the time he left Wipro, Mr. Gibbs was the only non-South Asian who reported directly to Mr. Rambhatla. Each of the other seven or eight non-South individuals who had previously reported to Mr. Rambhatla had been terminated or had quit. Each was replaced by a South Asian of Indian descent.

The lawsuit repeatedly notes that the favored Indian visa workers were far less skilled than the Americans, and sometimes hostile to American colleagues and customers

American STEM/tech workers need to get over their allergy to unions. This would be an effective way to combat the H-1B scabs and their corporate masters, in my opinion (but must reign in the unions' campaign contributions and political activities). Unions are like fire - can be a tool for good or evil.

The unions will do to the tech industry what they did to the auto industry.

I’ve read stories from IT people. When an Indian gets put in charge of hiring, soon everyone is replaced with Indians.

From my perspective they are not just stories.

This has been going on for decades. If an Indian is hiring, the American will not be hired unless there is no other option.

With 40 years in the electronics industry I can say with some certainty that is absolutely true that Indians AND other H1B’s like Muslims and Chinese hire their own. I have had to train my H1B replacement(s) numerous times at different companies. Intel is Muslim central as an example.

This is all too true. I’m not sure how we undo this when the government is not willing to put a stop on H1B, and it’s on willing to challenge company is replacing Americans were hiring non-Americans for jobs where there are Americans available. I cannot think of a single IT position that I’ve seen in the last 40 years that there is a shortage of Americans for.

Suspend all H-1Bs immediately and indefinitely.

H-1B is doing it faster right now. If federal officeholders won't stop that, STEM workers seem to have no other option.

The law needs to be changed, but Congress is in the pocket of Big Tech, so it won't change.

Congress doesn't care about you. You are nothing to them. The future of your children, in your own country, means NOTHING to them. All they care about is money and power.

They would have your kids unemployed, doing drugs, playing video games, and overdosing and killing themselves, while giving whatever remains of low-wage STEM jobs to foreigners whom they control.

The "Indians" are NOT "native," "American" or "Indian."
They are descendants of ORIENTAL ASIANS who migrated over the Bering Straits a LONG, long time ago.
Check it out. DNA doesn't lie.

One marker for their being ORIENTAL ASIAN is their inability to deal with alcohol. That comes from the GENETIC deficiency of acetyl dehydrogenase that ALL Oriental Asians have.

Native American Indians, my Aunt Fanny. They, NOT all, just USE and MISUSE their talents playing the heart strings to get 100% freebies from the oh-so-penitent Americans.

BALDERDASH!

The answer isn’t unions or complacency

The answers are job discrimination lawsuits, the threats thereof, and political pressure to stop this crap (along with immigration)

NO PERSON in the CRAs and The Constitution mean just that

NO PERSON That includes White people no matter what else anyone tries to make it say

NO PERSON . .. SUE THE BASTARDS

(IMO, I think HG left off the /s tag - of course, the article refers to the Dot, not Feather, Indians.)

This is true. Wipro is just the tip of the iceberg.
