"The Justice Department announced today that it reached a settlement with Autobuses Ejecutivos LLC, doing business as Omnibus Express, a bus company based in Houston, Texas. The settlement resolves a lawsuit filed in August 2013 by the department under the Immigration and Nationality Act’s (INA) antidiscrimination provision. The lawsuit alleged that the company discriminated against U.S. workers by preferring to hire workers on temporary H-2B visas for its bus driver positions. Under the settlement agreement, Omnibus Express will establish a $208,000 fund to compensate victims of its discriminatory practices, pay $37,800 in civil penalties to the United States and be subject to monitoring of its hiring and recruiting practices for a two-year period. Individuals who sought bus driver positions with Omnibus Express between August 2012 and February 2013, but were not hired, should contact Joann Sazama at (202) 307-3092, or Ryan Thompson at (202) 616-5557. Omnibus Settlement Agreement" - DOJ, Sept. 26, 2014.
