B&H Federal Lawsuit

WOW I'm shocked at this.  I just found an article from earlier this year that showed:  www.dol.gov/newsroom/releases/20160225-2

and then spoke about B&H settling for $3.2 million.  Reading all the comments and details has me wondering if I want to do business with this company?!


SHOCKED!

This is old news that has been discussed on here before. Note also that the dates involved are over 5 years ago. Likely things have been rectified since then.

Well I learned that this has been going on for something like 4 years.  However what I just read was published only a few months ago:  www.dol.gov/newsroom/releases/ofccp/ofccp20170814

Yeah, heard about this a year ago, but did hear back in August that they decided to come to a settlement.  B&H made statement that claimed they are on agreeing to the allegations made against them, that they just want to get back to focusing on work.

I haven't a lot of confidence in these kinds of suits brought by the previous  justice department.....
I'll continue doing business with B&H.....

Why so serious?

Yawn, well IMO they a business should be free to hire who they want.  You invite who you want into your home right? Just my 2 cents.

When decisions are made, or characteristics imbued, based upon things over which a human has no control, then a big stick is called for.

You can't fix stupid, but you can (mostly) fix ignorant.
