Female Assistant Manager of Apartment Management Company Was Subjected to Hostile Environment and Retaliatory Discharge, Federal Agency Charged
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Sealy Management Company, Inc., a property sale, rental and management company headquartered in Tuscaloosa, Ala., that owns and manages apartments in Alabama and three other states, has agreed to pay $88,785 and take other steps to settle a sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the federal agency announced today.

THE Home Office signed up to a legally binding action plan today to address its failures to comply with the law during the Windrush scandal.
The initiative follows a ruling by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) last November that ministers broke equality law when setting its “hostile environment” policy.

PEERS voted today to protect victims of domestic abuse from having their details shared with the Home Office in order to shield them from immigration enforcement.
In a report-stage debate on the Domestic Abuse Bill, the Lords voted 321 to 262 in favour of an amendment that would offer more safeguards against deportation to victims of violent and coercive behaviour by limiting information passing from the police to the Home Office.

HOLYROOD must pursue every route possible within its devolved powers to mitigate the impact of no recourse to public funds (NRPF) clauses on migrants in Scotland, public-sector and charity leaders have said.
While giving evidence to the Scottish Parliament’s local government and communities committee today, representatives from across the third sector called on the SNP administration to co-ordinate a cross-government response to redress the harm that NRPF causes to individuals and families.
The policy bars people with limited leave to remain in Britain from accessing certain types of publicly funded support, including universal credit, housing benefit and child benefit.
