Tata consultancy services: The US Equal Employment opportunity commission (EEOC) has launched investigation after dozens of allegations of racial discrimination against India’s largest IT outsource company Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). American employees have accused the company of discriminating on the basis of age, race and national origin.
According to Bloomberg’s report, the company has usually made these allegations by professionals over 40 years of age. Many former employees say that the company hired the H-1B visas and many other Indians, while the non-South Asian employees were trimmed.
The company denied the allegations against itself
The number of employees working in TCS worldwide is more than 6,00,000. Reacting to these allegations, the company has said that they have been termed as baseless and misleading.
The company spokesman said, TCS has a strong track record of being an employer providing equal opportunities in the US. The company says that it is not involved in any wrongdoing and is also not violating visa rules.
Here, the investigation of EEOC is going on and complaints have been kept confidential, they have not been publicly disclosed. However, according to Bloomberg News, this investigation of EEOC began during the administration of former President Biden and the current President has continued under Trump. However, this is not the first time that TCS has come under the purview of investigation. Earlier, three former UK employees had made similar allegations of discrimination against the company. Even then the company denied these allegations.
Allegations on Cognizant Technology Solutions
In 2020, IEOC investigated another Indian outsourcing firm Cognizant Technology Solutions Company. There were also allegations of discrimination against non -Indian employees against this company.
Investigations found that the company discriminated against more than 2,000 non-Indian employees between 2013 and 2022. After this, strict action was taken against the company. In January, President Trump appointed Andrea R. Lucas as the executive chairman of EEOC. Now the agency under his leadership has intensified its efforts to overcome discrimination against American workers.
