he class action lawsuit was originally filed in August by Wisconsin IT professional Brenda Koehler, who claims she was discriminated against when Infosys hired a Bangladeshi worker over her. The lawsuit was recently amended, adding three other workers who allege discrimination in some manner. Although filed as a class action, the lawsuit has not yet been certified by the court as one. One of them, Layla Bolten was employed by Infosys to work on the District of Columbia's $49.5 million health benefit exchange system for the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare. lnfosys won a contract for the project. Bolten was hired as a tester, a lesser position than a test lead post. The "vast majority of 'test lead' positions were filled by South Asian workers, individuals with "considerably less experience with software testing," the lawsuit alleges. Bolten sought a job promotion on multiple occasions, but says Infosys promoted, South Asian workers instead, it says. The vendor also brought in less experienced visa holders to work on the project, the lawsuit alleges. Bolten was "harassed because she was not Indian, and her supervisors excluded her from work conversations by speaking Hindi," the lawsuit charges. Another party to the lawsuit, Gregory Handloser, started working at Infosys in 2004 as a sales manager, but claims that the company in 2011 "began a concerted effort in the U.S. to purge non-South Asian employees in favor of South Asians." Handloser said Infosys began to set unrealistic sales goals for him, denied his bonuses, and ultimately fired him. Similar to Bolten, he claims supervisors and co-workers excluded him from work conversations by speaking Hindi. Infosys wouldn't comment on the class action lawsuit. Meanwhile, Infosys has also been a target of a federal government investigation into its use of B-1 visas, or visitor visas. In a recent securities filing, the company said it had reserved $35 million to resolve this issue. The total includes legal costs. |
