Yes, Two employees hired via an Indian recruiting firm were not paid wages they were legally entitled to, that my company was paying for, and threatened with cancellation of their visas and legal action in India if they reported the underpayment. In one case my colleague agreed to pay back his last three months wages when he quit to the recruiting firm, not to my company that had already paid the wages. He wasn’t contractually obliged to do this it was just bullying. (He had also not been paid superannuation for three years) Other Indian workers were bullied to secretly to work for other clients and phone in sick. (Australian workers get paid sick leave) others were regularly required to write fake resumes for candidates applying to work at my company and coach candidates on their fake work history. These are the explicit extreme examples, the mistreatment an dismissive behavior towards Indian women and my Tamil colleagues is unpleasant but more subtle, one female Sri Lankan colleague deliberately adopted an Australian accent to be accepted by some of our Indian male colleagues. In all of these cases the managers responsible were higher caste than the workers, who accepted the mistreatment despite Australian law being strongly on their side.
