US IT Worker Files Hiring Lawsuit Against Infosys, Class Action Proposed 684
itwbennett writes "Brenda Koehler is a VMware-certified professional network engineer with a master's degree in information systems and 17 years of experience. You might think that would qualify her for a lead VMware/Windows administrator, but Indian outsourcing firm Infosys apparently didn't. And Koehler has filed a lawsuit against the company, alleging that Infosys ignored her qualifications and eventually hired a Bangladeshi worker to staff a position she was qualified for. Koehler and her lawyers are asking the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin to allow a class-action lawsuit against Infosys, with 'thousands' of potential plaintiffs in the case, according to the lawsuit, filed Thursday."

it starts with the letter u. what am i thinking about, IT douchebags?
I can't think of any English word that meets those requirements.
You're thinking about "union", but "union" doesn't rhyme with "ion".
Just like a typical union worker, you've:
1: Failed to get the basics right.
2: Demanded far too much time, money, and attention for your output.
3: Managed to act like an asshole in the brief interaction you've had with other people on the matter.
