More than two-thirds of Hispanic construction workers in America are foreign born. Working without a safety netFor the workers paid to rebuild the bridge, the job will be grueling — and dangerous. CNNWork-related deaths among foreign-born Hispanic or Latino workers rose to their highest level in 2021, according to the most recent Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Fourteen percent of all work-related fatalities in 2021 were foreign-born Hispanic or Latino workers, and most of them worked in construction. The agency’s reports also “consistently show” that Latino and/or immigrant workers are less likely to report employer health and safety violations.

(It’s always been mostly men; the first woman admitted was Liza Minnelli in 1988.) Its headquarters since the 1950s, the Monastery is a shrine to the club’s heyday, with framed black-and-white photos of smiling comedy legends. The club, a nonprofit corporation, lost its tax-exempt status in 2010. He was kept on for several months after his sentencing, before the club’s board fired him in 2020, an event for which he has brought legal action against the club. The lender said in court papers that the club also owes money to the restaurant and bartenders employee union, the city’s Environmental Control Board, and the New York State Department of Labor.
GOP Rep. George Santos took unemployment during COVID-19 while working a $120k investment job, prosecutors say. Federal prosecutors allege Santos illegally received unemployment benefits while working at an investment firm. According to court documents, Santos "applied to receive unemployment insurance benefits through the New York State Department of Labor" in June 2020. In his application, Santos "falsely claimed to have been unemployed since the week of March 22, 2020," prosecutors wrote. Santos "certified his continued eligibility for unemployment benefits on a weekly basis" from June 19, 2020, to April 15, 2021, prosecutors alleged.
Rep. George Santos is being accused of stealing COVID-19 unemployment aid, among other charges. In March, he co-sponsored a bill that incentivizes states to recoup money lost through unemployment fraud. The indictment contains 13 counts of wire fraud, money laundering, and theft of public funds. Two months before his indictment, Santos co-sponsored a bill, along with 34 Republican lawmakers, that incentivizes states to recoup money lost through COVID-19 unemployment fraud. Spokespersons for Santos and Rep. Jason Smith, the lead sponsor of the bill, did not respond to a request for comment.

New York’s Landmark AI Bias Law Prompts Uncertainty

“If you are an organization that’s using some type of these tools…it can be pretty confusing.”The city law will potentially impact a large number of employers. New York City in 2021 had just under 200,000 businesses, according to the New York State Department of Labor. AI technology can help businesses hire and onboard candidates more quickly amid a “war for talent,” said Emily Dickens, SHRM’s head of government affairs. Which is scary,” Ms. Zuloaga said, adding that she supports the scrutiny AI systems have started to receive. Some critics have argued the New York law doesn’t go far enough.
Insider asked seven of the largest banks whether they still test job applicants for marijuana use. Some have removed drug testing entirely as part of the pre-employment screening process. It's natural that some of the country's largest and most prestigious employers are reevaluating their policies on testing job applicants and recent hires for a substance in light of these shifts. In 2019, New York's City Council passed a bill that bars employers in the city from forcing job applicants to take drug tests for marijuana use. The bill, which went into effect last year, does make exceptions for drug testing in "safety-sensitive" industries like law enforcement and construction.
