“The time has come for corporate leaders to step up it is long overdue. Bridgewater’s culture is rooted in equity and rewards based on merit,” said Alan Bowser, Bridgewater Associates’ chief diversity officer and co-head of the Americas region. “There’s a natural alignment between our way of being and the goals of the Corporate Call to Action. We don’t claim to have all the answers on the biggest societal questions. But as a founding member of the CCA, we are committed to ongoing improvement and to collective action that increases equity and opportunity.”Contributed photo /Bridgewater AssociatesShow MoreShow Less

Until new guidance is complete, OSHA has directed employers to follow the guidelines set out by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention regarding mask use and social distancing for fully vaccinated workers.
The CDC has recommended that fully vaccinated people no longer need to wear a mask or physically distance in any setting, except where required by federal, state, local, tribal or territorial laws, rules and regulations, including local business and workplace guidance.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is also reviewing the CDC guidelines to consider any impact of these developments on COVID-19 technical assistance provided to date.

The U.S. government will hand over nearly $5 million to dozens of Thai laborers who had worked at a pineapple plantation in Hawaii, as part of money recovered from a lawsuit over alleged workplace abuses, officials announced late Tuesday.
In 2015, a federal court in Hawaii awarded more than $8.1 million to 54 Thai nationals who had worked at Maui Pineapple Ltd., in a lawsuit brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission under the nation’s labor trafficking laws.
The court found that the Thai workers were subjected to physical violence – such as being thrown against the wall, and grabbed and punched in the face – ruling that Maui Pineapple and other defendants were liable for discrimination over national origin and race, the EEOC said in a news release.
