If Indian consular officers who do not have full diplomatic immunity break American laws then I expect them to be prosecuted by US courts.

Khobragade went to an Indian Court to stop Richards from getting her American rights in the US.
The Indian Court issued an arrest warrant for a labour dispute.
The Indian Court also forbade Richards from seeking American legal actions against Khobragade in the United States.
On what planet is this Indian Court on? I forbid you to seek legal help.
For all the Indian chest thumpers- why are you all still calling her a diplomat? She is a consular official who committed a felony and per the relevant treaties can be prosecuted.

The US on a short leash... I honestly didn't know you had a sense of humor.

She wants to hide behind the minimum wage law to get more money than to what she originally agreed to. When she wanted more money, she was let go and then she tried to come back against the diplomat using the law as a weapon. The minimum wage law was created in the first place to allow people with low incomes to get affordable housing and food so they wouldn't be on the streets starving.
You refuse to see the fact that the maid is double-dipping.

Originally posted by Blademaster View PostNo, the maid and the diplomat had an agreement before she came into US and she was totally fine with that.
Now she is using the US law as a way of double dipping considering she did received benefits such as free lodging, food, medical care, etc. expenses that had to be paid by the employer.

Second, benefits do not count towards the hourly minimum wage. For example a US worker making min wage will only get paid $7.25 per hour directly but indirectly the employers is also contributing to FICA, workmans comp and unemployment insurance on the employee's behalf. $7.25 per hour min wage means per hour regardless of fringe benefits.

There is no easy way out with a face saving move.

While I can see you are upset over the double dipping....does her double dipping as you say it violate US law?
If US had dealt with this matter quietly and told GoI in a private message to take this consular officer back and pay up what is owed or come to an agreement, the entire matter would have been resolved. But no, somebody decided to publicly humiliate the diplomat and in the process of doing so, made GoI lose face. That is something GoI cannot tolerate.

^^^ She was treated the same as a US citizen would have been... No loss of face from that. The only loss of face is India throwing a temper tantrum like a spoiled child. So much for India being ready for the big leagues and a spot on the security council.....
