Anything to save a buck, it seems.
Apple illegally discriminated against US citizens and other US residents in its hiring and recruitment practices for certain types of positions that went to foreign workers, the US Department of Justice said yesterday. Apple agreed to pay up to $25 million in back pay and civil penalties to settle the DOJ allegations.
Apple discriminated "against US citizens and certain non-US citizens whose permission to live in and work in the United States does not expire," the agency said. The $25 million payment was called the largest ever collected by the Justice Department under the anti-discrimination provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).
Fines go to show how evil and corrupt the DOJ is.
What Should happen in such cases, is that INDIVIDUALS responsible for this blatant discrimination get Jail time. So that the next piece of shit executive thinks twice about openly putting forth policy to attack Americans or specific races, which we can be pretty sure Apple is very fond of doing.
A fine 10x what they got would still be less than nothing to apple, 25m is a joke.
