Reuters (4/2, Baynes) reported that a
California federal judge has granted class-action status to a lawsuit filed
against Indian conglomerate Tata Sons Ltd. and its Tata Consultancy Services
subsidiary on behalf of its employees detailed to work in information
technology in the US. The lawsuit claims that the companies violated employee
contracts and state labor law by requiring non-US citizen workers to sign over
to their employer their US federal and state tax refunds.
Bloomberg News (4/2, Rosenblatt) added that
the company also "deprived employees in California of earned wages by
deducting their Indian salary from their compensation," according to the a
statement from their lawyers.
