Apple will be forced to fork over $25 million to settle claims by Biden’s Justice Department that the company illegally favored immigrant workers over American citizens and green card holders for certain jobs.
According to the Department of Justice, the tech giant didn’t recruit US citizens or permanent residents for jobs that were eligible for the permanent labor certification or PERM program, which enabled employers to sponsor immigrant workers for green cards. The practice was a violation of a federal law that bans discrimination based on citizenship.
Additionally, Apple didn’t advertise job openings that were eligible for the program on its website as it does for other positions, and the tech company required applicants to mail paper applications even though it usually permits electronic applications.
The agency said in a statement that the settlement is the largest ever for the DOJ involving claims of discrimination based on citizenship and will require the iPhone maker to pay $6.75 million in civil penalties and $18.25 million to an unspecified number of affected workers.
Apple claimed the practice was "unintentional.”
The company said in a statement, “We have implemented a robust remediation plan to comply with the requirements of various government agencies as we continue to hire American workers and grow in the US."
Apple also agreed to align its recruiting for PERM positions with its normal hiring procedures and will be required to conduct broader recruitment and train employees on anti-discrimination laws.
That’s pocket change for Apple
Yep
Isn’t the Regime suing Elon Musk for hiring US citizens over illegal aliens?
This anti-Americanism should result in them having a broken relationship with the government.
From India ?
“illegally favored immigrant workers over American citizens”
WTF. The same disgusting garbage Biden / Merrick DOJ that is sueing Musk for NOT hiring immigrants (legal or otherwise). If this child sniffing chomo steals the next election this nation is doomed and there will be no recovering from the Obama “fundamental transformation” finally brought on by this chomo. God help us.
Isn't that the core principal of Uniparty, similar to favoring the "New Americans" vote over the American Citizens vote?
YES THEY ARE! And this just gave Elon Musk the out needed to have the entire case dismissed.
The half-assed Biden Administration's Puppet DOJ was hoping you wouldn't notice.
Exactly my first thought. And the dirty secret more often than not is someone "onshore" has to do clean up duty.
Hello, my name is Urum Gupta!
bttt
They should lose their access to the H-1B and L-1 Visa programs. Immigrant visas should be massively reduced anyway, then abusers should lose them altogether.
The Indians have almost completely taken over tech job recruiting. If you are a white male American you cant even get your resume submitted for jobs anymore.
Key management and hiring positions have been secured by Brahmins. Who will hire lower castes in order to rule over them. Competence is irrelevant.
Is Microsoft up next? I know someone who had to train their Indian replacement as part of layoff...@18 years ago
NOW WAIT A MINUTE...
dint the FJB just sue somebody for NOT HIRING ILLEGAL???
i am confusion
I am trying to figure out who is paying all these Indians who constantly email me job descriptions with no intention of hiring any Americans. There is so much “country of origin” discrimination going on in the tech sector, and google is covering up any discussion of it.
Great. Now do Google.
