Instacart to pay $5B over federal claims of discrimination against US-born job seekers
The federal government has reached a $5 million settlement with Instacart for allegedly discriminating against U.S.-born workers in its hiring practices. The U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division said Tuesday that Instacart created a burden for U.S. workers by requiring them to physically mail applications for jobs that were listed as part of a recruitment program for foreign workers. Instacart typically accepts electronic applications for its standard job listings.
Instacart said it complied with U.S. laws and regulations but settled the case in order to focus on its business.
