Apple reaches $25M settlement with the DOJ for discriminating against US residents during hiring | The DOJ said that Apple’s hiring practices favored visa holders and left out US citizens and perma…::This is the largest amount that the DOJ has collected under the anti-discrimination provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
Not sure this logic tracks. PERM is a program that transitions the current visa holder workers to instead have a green card (aka no longer need a visa). If I were to follow your logic, Apple would be incentived to make the PERM postings more accessible.
The point of these PERM postings is to prove to DoL that the current employee deserves a green card because they’re not easily replaceable. If a qualified applicant applies to the PERM posting, they are not hired. It just delays the PERM process for the visa worker. If Apple wanted to keep the threat of deportation, doing the opposite of what they were fined would make more sense? Why would they want to fast track a green card for them?
