OSC Launches Webinar Series on Avoiding Workplace Discrimination
"The Justice Department announced today the launch of a live webinar
series on avoiding workplace discrimination. The webinars coincide with
the 25th anniversary of the passage of the Immigration Reform
and Control Act, which created the Office of Special Counsel for
Immigration-Related Unfair Employment Practices (OSC). OSC enforces the anti-discrimination provision of the Immigration and
Nationality Act (INA), which requires employers to treat all authorized
workers in the same manner with respect to hiring, firing or recruitment
or referral for a fee, regardless of their citizenship status or
national origin.
The law also prohibits discrimination during the Form I-9 and E-Verify processes. Participation in the hour-long webinars is free and open to all." - DOJ, Nov. 29, 2011.
