Cloudera Settles Discrimination Claims, Faces Two-Year US Green Card Program Ban
California-based tech firm Cloudera has agreed to a $2 million settlement with the US Department of Justice and Department of Labor over allegations of discriminating against qualified US workers in its green card applications for foreign employees. The settlement includes a $1.4 million back-pay fund and $600,000 in civil penalties. Cloudera will also face a two-year ban from the Permanent Labor Certification (PERM) program, a key step for sponsoring foreign workers. This action is part of broader US efforts to tighten immigration rules affecting tech companies, drawing concern from India about impacts on talent mobility.
