The Justice Department filed a lawsuit Tuesday against Cloudera Inc., alleging the California-based technology company intentionally discriminated against American workers by giving high-paying jobs to holders of temporary visas over U.S. citizens.
The civil complaint, which was filed with the Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer, argues Cloudera violated the Immigration and Nationality Act by instituting hurdles that stopped U.S. workers from applying to high-paying positions at the company, while giving special access to foreign visa holders for well-paying technology jobs.
