Overview

• Senate Judiciary leaders Chuck Grassley and Dick Durbin wrote to ten major employers, including TCS, seeking details on their H‑1B use following recent job cuts.
• TCS is the only India-based firm on the list, which also includes Amazon, Apple, Cognizant, Deloitte, Google, JPMorgan Chase, Meta, Microsoft and Walmart.
• The letter asks whether American workers were displaced, whether H‑1B hires receive equal pay and benefits, and whether job ads or staffing practices obscure visa hiring.
• Lawmakers cited TCS’s plan to cut more than 12,000 roles worldwide and noted nearly five dozen layoffs in the company’s Jacksonville, Florida, office last month.
• Companies were asked to submit responses by October 10, signaling stepped-up congressional oversight of H‑1B practices during a period of widespread tech layoffs.
