Timothy Hendricks is accused by the Department of Justice of accepting gifts from Shane Fast, owner of former subcontractor Fast Pipe and Supply, and also making purchases from the Fast Pipe for use at the Hanford nuclear reservation. The purchases were paid for by the Department of Energy.
Hendricks agreed to the settlement but denies he accepted gifts that were offered to encourage or reward favorable treatment for Fast Pipe.
The Department of Justice stated in the settlement agreement that Fast gave Hendricks a $100 gift card to Outback Steakhouse in November 2005 and that he purchased $10,586 worth of material from Fast Pipe that month.
In February 2006, he accepted tickets to a Seattle Mariners baseball game valued at $408 from Fast and made purchases worth $16,519 that month from Fast Pipe, according to the Department of Justice. (Click HERE for article)
Justice Department Reaches Settlement with Virginia-Based BAE Systems Ship Repair Inc.
(DoJ) – WASHINGTON – December 28, 2011 – The Justice Department announced today that it reached a settlement with BAE Systems Ship Repair Inc., a leading provider of ship repair services, to settle allegations that its subsidiary, BAE Systems Southeast Shipyards Alabama LLC, engaged in a pattern or practice of discrimination by imposing unnecessary and additional documentary requirements on work-authorized non-U.S. citizens when establishing their eligibility to work in the United States.
The department alleges, based on an extensive investigation, that since at least Jan. 1, 2009, BAE Southeast Alabama imposed different and greater requirements in the Form I-9 employment eligibility verification process on lawful permanent residents as compared to U.S. citizen employees by requiring all newly hired lawful permanent residents to present Permanent Resident Cards, commonly known as “green cards,” as a condition of employment. The investigation was initiated after BAE Southeast Alabama suspended a lawful permanent resident even though he had presented valid documents sufficient under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) to establish his work authorization on three separate occasions. The INA requires employers to treat all authorized workers in the same manner during the employment eligibility verification process, regardless of their national origin or citizenship status.
