"DOJ reaches settlement in discrimination claims against Gap," 29 Nov. 2021

The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced ... that it had reached a settlement with Gap Inc. following claims that the company violated a discrimination law. 

Gap was accused of "routinely discriminating against certain non-U.S. citizens working for the company," according to a statement from the DOJ.

The Justice Department said it resolved claims that the company had reverified certain employees' permission to work without any legal basis and asked some non-U.S. citizens to provide documentation that they still had permission to work.

... “As the department concluded, our reliance on an electronic I-9 system contributed to this issue," a Gap Inc. spokesperson said in a statement to The Hill. "That system is no longer in use, and we believe we are in compliance with all federal requirements.”
