NetJets, the luxury plane unit of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc, agreed to settle U.S. charges that it discriminated against immigrant workers by requiring them to provide extra documents to prove their employment eligibility. The settlement calls for NetJets to be monitored by the U.S. Department of Justice for two years, improve training of its human resources staff, and pay a $41,480 civil penalty, the department said on Friday. NetJets denied wrongdoing in agreeing to settle, and cooperated in the probe. A spokesman had no immediate comment. Based in Columbus, Ohio, NetJets specializes in "fractional" aircraft ownership, which lets individuals and companies buy shares of private jets, and travel on short notice with greater privacy than on commercial aircraft. The government accused NetJets of improperly requiring newly-hired non-U.S. citizens to provide specific documents demonstrating their eligibility to work that it did not require U.S. citizens to provide. It also said NetJets discriminated against existing workers, by unnecessarily forcing legal permanent residents to reconfirm their employment eligibility, and requiring newly naturalized citizens to submit more documents to prove their citizenship. NetJets recently had about 6,540 employees. Berkshire has been run since 1965 by Buffett, the world's third-richest person, according to Forbes magazine. The Omaha, Nebraska-based company owns close to 90 businesses, and needs a little over one minute to generate operating profit equal to the NetJets penalty.

Got that? NetJets goes the extra mile to comply with eVerify and FAA/TSA regulations on who gets to fly jets in the National Airspace System with wealthy clients on board and the Obama administration goes after them because they want to make sure that some Jihadi gets in control of the jet.
And there is no U.S. “pilot shortage”, so they sure don’t need foreign pilots working there.
Just more evidence that Barack Obama is a dedicated enemy of the American people.
Natural justice to Mr. Buffett I’d say.
Of course non-citizens need to provide “more documentation” to the work than US citizens.
It’s the law.
what I find most interesting is how Warren Buffett stabs Hussein Obama in the back. He called Obama and Bush the two worst presidents of all time
But screwing American workers more than Buffett.
They are both in the running, but LBJ will be tough to beat.
