2 articles · Updated · Yahoo Finance · Oct 25
Summary
$5 million will resolve Justice Department and EEOC allegations that Instacart parent Maplebear favored temporary-visa holders over U.S. applicants in hiring.
Up to $4 million of the settlement is earmarked for affected applicants from December 2023 through February 2026, while $1 million goes to government penalties.
Maplebear said it complied with the law even as it agreed to the joint settlement announced on October 20.
The case adds to U.S. scrutiny of hiring practices that allegedly disadvantage domestic workers in favor of visa holders.
