Indians Pushing Out Locals in Global Job Market
Online discussion about indians receiving preference over locals during the recruiting process has been triggered by a recent social media post. An ex-worker of the Canadian fast-food company Tim Hortons said she lost her job because she spoke out against the biased recruiting practises of indian supervisors. They were solely employing immigrants from India, she says.
This is a result of Canada's tightening immigration laws, which have an impact on a large number of Indians. It is indicative of a larger worry that the indian community has over competitiveness in overseas employment markets. Online, there was a lot of sympathy for the sacked employee, but there were also some people who defended the recruiting procedures. They claimed indian immigrants should be given a chance provided they meet the requirements.
An analogous occurrence garnered media attention earlier this year when a lengthy queue of indian job seekers was observed waiting outside a Tim Hortons for interviews. Concerns are heightened by the fact that this is now being referred to as possible hiring prejudice. Canada, which has long been a sanctuary for Native Americans, is gradually tightening its immigration laws. Another concerning indicator for the community in this unsettling time is the locals making fun of indians at work.
