I guess the manager should have verified their work status before hiring them

Not always as easy as it sounds.
You can only ask so many questions and if a person hands you a SS card you pretty much have to accept it as you can get a discrimination charge levied at you.
‘We’ aren’t the only smart ones...Say a guy named Jose Martinez gives you a SS card, ‘doesn’t speak much English’ and you - so you don’t get fined - Check him out and sure enough THAT Jose Martinez and his brother HoseB were born in Detroit ..... That will bring the govt & ACLU & anti discrimination groups down on you....
So the BIG catch is that you can’t really check them out yet when biggov drops in on you, break out your checkbook.
Old ‘joke/story’ about Bobby Kennedy going to play tough when JFK had vowed to END discrimination as we knew it.
RFK stormed into a plant in Georgia and with his New England/Liberal arrogance loudly proclaimed that if the company was not in compliance with the 20% of all employees were not minority there would be ‘hell to pay’. The company prez called in his secretary and asked for the roster.
Turning towards RFK he says ‘Been waiting for you - I have 1000 employees and you say 200 have to be approved minorities’ he turned to his secretary and said
‘I have marked ALL the minorities with a red pen. Since I have 450 minorities, start with the A’s and fire the first 250 checked names so I can get within the Government Guidelines’.
As a Swiss-American”, can I be counted as a minority too?
I always ran a SSN verification on everybody.
Yup.
Sounds like the manager is here legally and did her best to vet the two who were detained.
Why fine her?
