Maine restaurant operator settles with feds
Maine restaurant operator settles with feds
Published 09:30 a.m., Wednesday, April 27, 201
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — The owner of several Wendy's restaurants in Maine has agreed to pay more than $17,000 to settle claims that managers at one of its restaurants refused to hire people who weren't U.S. citizens.
The U.S. Justice Department found that since 2009 a Wendy's owned by Restwend LLC instituted a policy of hiring only U.S. citizens and rejecting those were believed to be non-U.S. citizens. The Immigration and Nationality Act generally prohibits discrimination in hiring against authorized workers on the basis of citizenship status.
Under the terms of the settlement, Restwend has agreed to pay $14,500 in back pay, plus interest, to a victim of its policy, as well as $3,200 in civil penalties. A Restwend official in Augusta, Maine, wasn't immediately available.

As long as they are here legally they can work here and descriminating against them is illegal. The article didn,t say that they were illegal only that they were non US citicens.
