Federal food service contractor settles charges of hiring discrimination
For a second time, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs has determined that a Michigan-based federal food service contractor systematically discriminated against 926 qualified women seeking entry-level warehouse laborer jobs, according to a news release. In agreements with the department, Gordon Food Service Inc. of Wyoming will pay a total of $1.85 million to female applicants, hire 37 female applicants and stop using a strength test that OFCCP found to be discriminatory.
