Class-Action Lawsuit Filed Against Tata !

Looks like the Indian owned bodyshop is in big trouble. This time it's Tata's own nonimmigrant visa holders that are filing the lawsuit. The complaint titled "Gopi Vedachalam vs. Tata International", alleges that Tata bilked their nonimmigrant workers by withholding too much US and state income tax. Plaintiff Gopi Vedachalam is an L-1 visa holder from India who worked as project manager for Target in California. He transferred to the U.S. from Tata-India to Tata-America and then was contracted to Target. If you wonder why we call companies like Tata bodyshops, this is a perfect example. Rep.Bill Pascrell's bill ("Defend the American Dream Act of 2005" or H.R. 4378) would make it much more difficult for bodyshops to use L-1 visas in this fashion.
