Group sues to block use of E-Verify to screen out illegal workers

Several national organizations representing employers sued Tuesday to stop a mandate that federal contractors by Jan. 15 begin using an Internet system designed to verify employment.
E-Verify — primarily a check to screen out illegal workers — is “far from ready” to be used, said Mike Aitken, director of government affairs at the Society for Human Resource Management. The society, joined by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Associated Builders and Contractors Inc., the American Council on International Personnel, and the HR Policy Association, sued Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and U.S. government entities in U.S. District Court in Maryland.
