India's largest software services exporter TCS, has been accused of playing favorites with the workers of South Asian descent in the United States of America.
The company has been sued by a white American information technology worker Steven Heldt who made this accuse, says an ET report.
The federal civil rights law has been violated by TCS by giving the South Asian workers special preference in decisions pertaining to hiring, promotion and termination. 95% of Tata's 14,000-person US workforce descend from South Asia, mainly India, said Steven in the complaint filed on Tuesday, as mentioned in the report. Steven, who accused Tata of burdening him with “menial work” and of displaying "substantial anti-American sentiment" which he experienced in his 20 months at Tata, received response from Ben Trounson, a Tata spokesman, in an email who labeled his allegations as “baseless”, stated the report.
TCS’s employs workers on "legitimate non-discriminatory business reasons," without regard to race or national origin, Trounson added in the report. "The experience of Mr. Heldt is representative of what is happening across the country at Tata. We believe it reflects a broad preference toward a specific race and national origin, and that any such preference violates US anti-discrimination laws,” said Daniel Kotchen, Heldt’s lawyer in a phone interview as mentioned in the report.
