Department of Labor Administrative Review Board

Earlier this week the Department of Labor moved to remand Frito-Lay’s lawsuit seeking to block the production of employment data in connection with an OFCCP investigation into discrimination at its Dallas facility.  Frito-Lay, Inc. v. Department of Labor, 3:12-cv-01747 (N.D. Tex. 2012).  The resolution of this case may impact the scope of OFCCP’s authority to request documents from government contractors in compliance audits.

Last week, a divided Department of Labor Administrative Review Board (“ARB”) agreed to reconsider its ruling that the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (“OFCCP”) did not have jurisdiction over a federal contractor based solely on its participation in TRICARE, the Department of Defense’s managed health care program for active duty and retired military members and their families.
