DOJ Settles $25 Million Lawsuit with Apple

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has settled with Apple Inc. for $25 million, addressing allegations of discriminatory hiring practices against both U.S. citizens and certain non-U.S. citizens. The DOJ’s investigation revealed a pattern of favoring foreign workers eligible for permanent residency over U.S. citizens. Apple is accused of inadequately advertising positions for foreign workers on its external job website, relying instead on internal recruitment methods that disadvantaged U.S. citizens.
