| An information technology services company in Irving hired a system
| analyst under the H-1B visa program, then failed to use and pay the
| worker the required prevailing wage for non-productive time - an
| illegal practice known as "benching" - a U.S. Department of Labor
| investigation has found.
|
| The department's Wage and Hour Division determined Cigniti
| Technologies Inc. benched the employee illegally over a 15 month
| period, and failed to pay the full, pro-rated amount of the worker's
| prevailing wage for periods of non-productive work. By doing so, the
| employer violated the requirements of the federal H-1B visa program.
|
| The investigation by the division's New Orleans District Office led
| to the recovery of $64,244 in wages owed to the employee.

"Mike Pompeo is a classic GOP war-hawk and neocon who manipulated
Trump with flattery and some MAGA people with deceitful rhetoric.
Pompeo is a complete fraud: a war-monger far closer in ideology to Bushes/Cheneys than America First foreign policy principles of the
Trump movement:" - Glenn Greenwald <URL:https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1468638943583297546>
