$26k? that’s not even newsworthy.
Wow. That’s just wrong. Mrs. Fields was definitely in the right while the judgement was so very, very wrong.
Cookie retailer Mrs. Fields will pay more than $26,000 in penalties to settle a claim that it discriminated against non-U.S. citizens authorized to work.
DOJ has declared war on Americans.
I thought perhaps the discrimination was that they hadn’t put enough chocolate chips in their cookies, and violated affirmative action/quota guidelines.
$26K ... cost of defense settlement? Can more companies agree to pay a similar amount to not hire non-citizens? That would be amazing.
“...non-U.S. citizens authorized to work”
authorized how and by whom?
“authorized how and by whom?”
A Green Card.
What? So, Mrs. Fields trying to ensure it complies with THE LAW about illegals makes it BAD?
But, small farm companies taking illegals under the table...OK?
Telling you - all this would go away if the MINIMUM WAGE nonsense price-fixing was repealed.
Only 26k? And what’ll it be after the lawyers take their cut?
How else can those who are non-U.S. citizens show they are lawful permanent residents?
it is inthat if they win, this opens the door up to greencard holders suing companies big time for millions-
“How else can those who are non-U.S. citizens show they are lawful permanent residents?”
Their Green Card.
US citizens usually complete these the first day on the job.
“non US citizens” can't comply and Mrs. Fields has to ask up to three times before releasing them.
So they follow Homeland Security laws passed by Congress and run afoul of DOL rules?
Three crimes before breakfast indeed.
It does not matter if the green card is valid or not (It may be different with e verify now) you must accept them. Years ago I had very obvious green card and SSN card forgeries and when I refused them as ID I ended up in a world of trouble (They said I was not a document authority never mind the cards in question were in the wrong color with colored lettering.).
That not a lot of dough.
Although, in a turd world country that would be like hitting the lottery.
That’S not a lot of dough.

1/4 of a palette of cookies.
“That’S not a lot of dough.”
Ah, a cookie pun.
