RSSCompany Fined for Favoring H-1B Holders in Hiring
Carolyn Hileman - The Voice* | May 2, 2008
The U.S. Justice Department has fined a Pittsburgh-area computer consulting company $45,000 to settle charges that it placed job ads specifically looking for workers with H-1B visas, reports Computerworld. The department said it found that between May 9, 2006, and June 4, 2006, iGate Mastech placed 30 job ads for computer programmers that “expressly favored” H-1B visa holders over legal U.S. workers. The Programmers Guild in 2006 lodged a complaint against iGate and a number of other companies. Guild founder John Miano said the settlement “is probably the most visible result” of the Summit, N.J.-based organization’s campaign against companies that discriminate against U.S. workers “in favor of cheap H-1B workers.”
