The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Dec. 3 announced that it has filed a lawsuit against Facebook, alleging that the social media giant discriminated against U.S. workers in favor of temporary visa holders.
The lawsuit alleges that from January 2018 to September 2019, Facebook refused to recruit, consider, or hire qualified and available U.S. workers for over 2,600 positions with an average salary of about $156,000—instead reserving the jobs for foreigners with temporary H-1B and other visas the company wanted to sponsor for green cards.
