US Agency Probes Workers' Bias Claims Against TCS

Charges of Discrimination

- NEWLEY PURNELL, ERIC FAN & PAIGE SMITH

The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is investigating dozens of American workers' allegations that IT outsourcer Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) discriminated against them based on their race, age, and national origin.

The former employees are largely professionals from non-South Asian ethnic backgrounds over the age of 40, who say the company targeted them for layoffs but spared Indian colleagues, some of whom were working on H-1B skilled work visas. They began filing complaints against TCS in late 2023.
