The New York State Court of Appeals ruled yesterday that the New York City Department of Education (DOE) acted in an arbitrary and capricious manner in denying employment clearance to a clerical aide because of a 13-year-old criminal record.
The suit charges that McMillan’s Home Care Agency consistently exploited workers, underpaying them, and never paying overtime, even though most employees worked over 60 hours each week.
