Bloomberg: Employers Avoid Knee-Jerk Reactions to Green Card Sponsor Bans
Bloomberg reports on the aftermath of the Trump administration’s suspension of PERM labor certification processing for several major technology companies, including Microsoft. In this piece, featuring quotes from AILA president-elect Alexis Axelrad and other AILA members, interviewed attorneys note that employers should continue to follow existing compliance standards, even as the Department of Labor considers broader updates to PERM regulations that have remained largely unchanged since 2004. “So it’s not just, oh, these companies are being told, no, you can’t do this. Somebody’s life is being upended by this, both the foreign national and who the foreign national works with and for,” said Axelrad.
