Dunkin’ targets illegals: Sues West Concord franchisee
A spokesman forDunkin’ Donuts said it doesn’t comment on pending litigation. But hesaid that last June, Dunkin’ agreed to voluntarily participate in the so-called “basic pilot†computer system that allows employers to verify whether workers are legally in the country and have Social Security numbers.
….In its suit, Dunkin’ says West Concord Donuts “knowingly and purposefully breached†its franchise agreement by “violating†federal immigration and employment laws at its shop. The suit said owners “knowingly accepted false identification documents†for hiring purposes.
Dunkin’ also said the company failed to keep up its franchise fees, or the percentage of the shop’s total gross sales.
