[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 2930710, member: 12952"] [URL="http://www.wnd.com/2017/06/popular-restaurant-gets-massive-fine-for-verifying-foreign-workers/"]Popular restaurant gets massive fine for verifying foreign workers[/URL] [SIZE=5][B]Panda Express 'too careful' in quest to hire only legal residents[/B] [B]The U.S. Department of Justice announced Wednesday it reached a settlement agreement with Panda Restaurant Group Inc., a chain of more than 1,800 Chinese-cuisine restaurants the DOJ accuses of discriminating against non-U.S. citizens in its hiring practices. The deal resolves the department’s investigation into whether Panda Express discriminated against non-U.S. citizens in violation of the Immigration and Nationality Act, or INA, when verifying employees’ permission to work, according to a [URL='https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-settles-immigration-related-discrimination-claim-against-panda-express']DOJ press release[/URL]. According to the DOJ investigation, Panda Express “unnecessarily required lawful permanent resident workers to re-establish their work authorization” when their green cards expired, “while not making similar requests to U.S. citizen workers when their documents expired.” It was not clear from the press release what “documents” a U.S. citizen would have that could expire and need to be re-verified. WND called and emailed the DOJ press office Wednesday and did not get a return call. [/B][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
