Settlement Reached Between U.S. Justice Department and Panda Express Over Discrimination Allegations
Panda Express, a popular restaurant chain with more than 1,800 locations nationwide, recently came under fire for discrimination in their hiring and documentary practices. In an effort to resolve the allegations, the U.S. Justice Department has reached a $600,000 agreement with the operator of Panda Express. Those involved in the agreement hope that it will resolve the “investigation into whether Panda Restaurant Group Inc. discriminated against non-U.S. citizens in violation of the Immigration and Nationality Act when reverifying their permission to work.”
