Apple Agrees to Record $25 Million Settlement Over Discriminatory Hiring Practices Against US Citizens
Apple has agreed to a settlement agreement with the U.S. Justice Department following claims the company hired immigrant workers over U.S. citizens and green card holders as part of a pattern of “discriminatory” employment practices.
The company will fork over $25 million following a lengthy investigation into the Big Tech giant and what the DOJ described as a pattern of violating Labor Department processes that allow some companies to hire immigrants if there is a shortage of adequate candidates.
According to the settlement agreement, Apple was informed in 2019 that it was being investigated for violating permanent labor certification guidelines on international hiring.
