EEOC $5 million discrimination settlement

When it rains it pours. Today Workplace Fairness flagged an AP story reporting on an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission settlement of a class action discrimination suit against an aerospace manufacturer. The suit alleged that the employer, Woodward Gov., discriminated against minorities and females in hiring, promotions and other terms of employment. Woodward agreed to settle for $5 million, agreed to put in place programs that would eliminate discrimination and agreed to an outside monitor for the next three years.
