Our main beef with the state’s deal with Infosys is that they didn’t mandate that the India-based firm hire Americans.
This is what Governor Lamont said …
The Lamont administration said this … “Governor Lamont looks forward to Infosys becoming a key … These will be full–time jobs for individuals, many of whom live, work and play here.”
At first, Infosys guaranteed they would hire 100% Americans for Hartford. Then they said they seemed to change this, by saying all of their workers would be “Visa-independent.”
We immediately got proof that this was not even true. Here is a recording of 3rd party recruiter looking to hire a storage engineer for Infosys in Hartford. He says Visa workers and EAD workers (i.e., students asylum seekers) are OK.
An ally in Florida forwarded us the recruiting e-mail after reading about rally in Hartford. This is the text from the e-mail.
