Infy, TCS, Wipro abusing L-1 visas: US unions

siliconindia: "Amid growing resentment in the US against outsourcing, labour organisations here have accused Indian IT majors Wipro, Tata Consultancy Services and Infosys Technologies of 'abusing' the L-1 visa programme to bring in cheap manpower to take over American jobs.

These companies were acting as 'bodyshops', bringing in foreign workers through the L-1 system and then subcontracting them out to other businesses, Michael W Gildea, Executive Director of the Department for Professional Employees, AFL-CIO, America's largest labour federation, told the House International Relations Committee yesterday.
