A U.S. appeals court has revived a proposed class-action lawsuit against Meta Platforms, alleging the company prefers hiring foreign workers over U.S. citizens. The lawsuit, filed by Purushothaman Rajaram, a naturalized U.S. citizen and software engineer, claims Meta refused to hire him because it preferred to give jobs to foreign workers who are paid lower wages. The 9th Circuit court, based in California, ruled on Thursday that U.S. citizens can bring claims under Section 1981 of the 1866 Civil Rights Act, which bars discrimination in contracts based on 'alienage'. This decision could have significant implications for hiring practices and employment law, particularly concerning the use of H-1B visa holders in the tech industry.
