The U.S. Department of Labor has just sued Google in an attempt to get the Mountain View tech giant to cough up compensation data for an audit of its compliance with federal labor laws.
The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs had in September asked Google to submit particular information, according to a news release Jan. 4 from the labor department.
"As a federal contractor, Google must agree to permit the federal government to inspect and copy records and information relevant to its compliance with the equal employment laws," the labor department said.
"Despite many opportunities to produce this information voluntarily, Google has refused to do so. We filed this lawsuit so we can obtain the information we need to complete our evaluation."

Once again, SJW interfering with productivity. If I was in charge of hiring, I don't care if you're purple with green spots as long as you're qualified. And if someone came in and told me I had to fire a qualified worker and replace them with a less qualified worker only because of race, I'd give them directions to the nearest beach and tell them to pack sand up their arse.

I would be concerned enough to determine whether this was a condition that is contagious.
The lower I set my standards the more accomplishments I have.
