WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Labor announced today that it has entered into an agreement with the North Carolina Department of Commerce after a compliance review by the federal department’s Civil Rights Center found the state’s unemployment insurance and employment service programs deficient in providing services to those with limited English proficiency.
Prompted by a national origin discrimination complaint by Legal Aid of North Carolina, the CRC sought to determine if the programs – administered by the state’s Divisions of Employment Security and Workforce Solutions – met their obligations to provide meaningful access to limited English proficient individuals to programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance. The DES administers the unemployment insurance program, while the DWS administers the employment service program.
After completing its review, the center found that DES and DWS policies, practices and procedures required improvement to comply with requirements set forth under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Section 188 of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998, and the regulations that implement these statutes. In its agreement, the state’s DES and DWS programs will:
WASHINGTON – Fiduciaries of a health plan covering employees of a major western lumber producer have agreed to settle claims that they did not comply with the Affordable Care Act and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act when providing healthcare benefits and deciding worker claims for healthcare benefits.
After an investigation by the department’s Employee Benefits Security Administration, the Sierra Pacific Industries Health Benefits Plan has agreed to comply with the ACA and ERISA, to pay past benefit claims in compliance with the ACA, and to correct the way it makes decisions on future claims.
“The Affordable Care Act put into place standards and protections for workers covered by employee benefit plans. The Sierra Pacific plan was operating as though it was exempt from such requirements, when indeed, it was not.” said Assistant Secretary of Labor for Employee Benefits Security Phyllis C. Borzi. “This settlement means that workers improperly denied health benefits will have their claims paid. Corrections made to plan procedures will also mean that all future claims are processed and paid properly.”
The EBSA investigation found problems with certain aspects of the plan’s claims processing, with the clarity of plan documents, and with the application of certain plan procedures for deciding claims. The agency’s investigators also found that the plan was not a “grandfathered” plan, was not exempt from certain ACA requirements and was required to comply...
PALO ALTO – The U.S. Department of Labor has filed a lawsuit charging that Palantir Technologies, a Palo Alto technology company, discriminated systematically against Asian job applicants in its hiring process and selection procedures.
Filed with the department’s Office of Administrative Law Judges, the lawsuit seeks to end the company’s alleged discriminatory hiring policies and practices. Palantir provides software and data analysis services under federal contract to the U.S. Department of Justice’s Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Special Operations Command and the U.S. Department of the Army.
The suit also seeks complete relief for the affected class, including lost wages, interest, retroactive seniority and all other lost benefits of employment. The department filed the complaint after the department and Palantir were unable to resolve the findings through the conciliation process.
The suit follows a compliance review by the department’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, which found that from January 2010 to the present, Palantir violated Executive Order 11246 by:

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Labor today announced it has awarded a total of $153,836 in grants to organizations to support the planning and research of portable retirement benefit plans for low-wage workers.
Administered by the department’s Women’s Bureau, the awards are funded by the Portable Retirement Benefits Planning grant program. The program’s ultimate goal is to assist those workers – particularly women and others in low-wage occupations – who lack access to an employer-provided retirement benefits program, are less likely to have pension or asset-related income.
Changes in the workplace – workers moving more frequently between jobs, being paid as independent contractors or holding more than one job – have increased the need to find ways to allow millions of workers the ability to take benefits from job to job and build greater retirement security.
The grants announced today will be awarded to the following recipients:
