US bars Cloudera from green card sponsorship for two years

The Justice Department and Labour Department announced the deal, which includes a $1.4m compensation fund for US workers and $600,000 in civil penalties.

The US has barred Cloudera Inc. from the PERM programme for two years, which blocks its green card sponsorship of foreign workers.

The $2 million settlement includes a $1.4m fund for US workers who were not fairly considered and $600,000 in civil penalties.
