| Legislative Change Needed In Wage Structure To Prevent H-1B Abuse: US

The US Labour Department has said a legislative change is required in the four-tiered wage structure to take stronger action against firms using H-1B visas to replace their American employees with workers from countries like India.
"Absent a legislative change, the Department (of labour) lacks the authority to alter the employers' ability to take advantage of the four-tiered prevailing wage structure currently used by employers in H-1B Labour Condition Applications," US Department of Labour said in a letter to two top American Senators Chuck Grassley and Dick Durbin.
US Acting Secretary of Labour Edward C Hugler, in the letter dated April 27, has identified several other legislative changes for it to take stronger action against H-1 B visa-dependent companies who the lawmakers allege displace American workers.
Releasing a copy of the letter to the media, Senators Grassley and Durbin in a joint statement said that Congress needs to give the Department of Labour authority to investigate H-1B visa abuse, which is not the case now.
