It's a bit vile seeing a company which acts as a gateway to a society where freedoms such as one's practice of religion are ostensibly preserved and respected... act in contravention of preserving such freedoms. You'd think a company in their position would stick up for their workforce considering their workforce is literally their revenue model.
But I was born in the US, so I suppose I'm putting too much faith in the idea that this news will harm the uptake of HCL as an H1B provider as a result of not empowering their staff.
No company on earth could have any revenue without its workforce, but that's never stopped sweatshop conditions in the past! The only escape from that fate is either rarity or unionization. The H1B system is even more prone to bad conditions, because workers on visas are literally second-class citizens, with fewer rights and much less bargaining power.
