TCS layoffs: US techies allege Indian IT major of employment discrimination

A group of tech professionals working with TCS in the US have accused the IT major of employment discrimination. They alleged that TCS terminated their employment on brief notice and replaced many of the then-vacant positions with workers from India employed on H-1B visas.

According to a report in The Wall Street Journal, more than 20 employees have filed complaints with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) — a US law enforcement agency that makes discrimination illegal in the workplace — against TCS, alleging preferential treatment towards individuals on H-1B visas.
