The US Department of Justice<\/strong> has announced that it has signed a settlement arrangement with an IT staffing and recruiting <\/strong>organization based in Texas. For regularly discriminating domestic workers<\/strong> for temporary work visas, including the H-1B holders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday the Justice Department alleged that Ikon Systems<\/strong> routinely discriminated against the US workers<\/strong>. By posting job ads indicating a specifying a preference for applicants with ccc. <\/strong>And that the organization neglected to consider at least one US resident <\/strong>candidate who applied to a discriminatory advertisement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employers, regardless of their size<\/strong> and no matter of their industry<\/strong>, can’t restrict employment openings only to temporary visa holders<\/strong>. At the point when employers post job advertisements that victimize US workers<\/strong>. They abuse the Immigration and Nationality Act’s (INA<\/strong>) citizenship-status discrimination provision. Said Assistant Attorney General Eric Dreiband<\/strong> of the Civil Rights Division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our message is clear: if employers <\/strong>discriminate in advertising, recruiting, or hiring against US workers. By unlawfully <\/strong>preferring temporary visa holders, the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division will act to ensure them under the Immigration and Nationality Act<\/strong>, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa<\/strong> that permits American organizations to hire foreign workers in specialty occupations<\/strong> that require theoretical or technical expertise. The US issues up to 85,000 H-1B visas<\/strong> every year. As a rule, they’re given for three years and renewable. Most of the nearly 600,000 H-1B visa holders<\/strong> are from India and China. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discrimination Against American Workers for H-1B Holders<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Department of Justice said that this is the eleventh settlement<\/strong> by the Civil Rights Division. Under its 2017 <\/strong>Protecting US Workers Initiative, which is pointed toward focusing on, exploring<\/strong>. And taking enforcement actions against organizations that victimize US workers <\/strong>for temporary visa workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investigations <\/strong>against Ikon started after a US resident filed a discrimination complaint with the Civil Rights Division<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on its analysis, the Department concluded that from May 8, 2019, to 21st September 2019<\/strong>, Ikon posted at least eight facially unfair job advertisements focusing on non-US residents with immigration statuses <\/strong>related to employment-based visas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, the investigation showed that one of Ikon’s advertisements expressed, “Searching for OPT, CPT, H4 EAD<\/strong>, and H-1B transfer<\/strong>.” Additionally, the Department discovered that Ikon failed to properly consider a US citizen’s application to one of the job postings<\/strong> because of his citizenship status.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
