Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company was accused by a group of its U.S. employees of concocting a “discriminatory scheme” that favors Taiwanese foreign workers.

Deborah Howington, a talent acquisition director, filed the class-action suit in August. She claims that the HR department created a workplace at TSMC where non-Asian employees

More than a dozen US-based employees of Taiwanese chipmaking giant TSMC have sued the company for apparent discrimination against non-Asian workers.
