It says Apple agreed to pay the fine, but does this mean they will actually stop discriminating in their hiring?

  The only person who can conclusively answer that would need a time machine to speak to you.

  Unclear, but they committed to certain changes in behavior as well as 3 years of DOJ monitoring, so the fine is not the whole story.

  The DOJ wants them to allow electronic submission of applications to PERM jobs and to publish these jobs anywhere they publish other jobs. Apple agreed to this and to train their relevant employees about the issue for three years. The article doesn't come right out and say it, but the case seems to have turned on PERM jobs being only available when there isn't a citizen/refugee/permanent-resident available to fill the position and that applying in paper was an unreasonable hurdle to these classes and that the positions should be advertised as widely as other jobs to ensure they aren't missing potential protected class workers who might like to apply.

    From what I’ve seen, often these jobs already have a candidate in mind and the “post the job listing” is a pro forma requirement. So this is the government forcing the company through extra checklist that will end up in the exact same candidate being hired anyway.
