U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs and federal contractor Nash Finch Col have settled allegations of hiring discrimination against female job prospects at the company's Lumberton, N.C., distribution facility.
As part of the settlement, Nash Finch Co. is to pay $188,500 in back wages and interest to 84 women after they were turned down for the entry-level position of order selector.
"I am glad we were able to achieve a fair resolution in this case," says Solicitor of Labor M. Patricia Smith. "Our economy cannot afford to lose the skills and talents of millions of American women who count on us to enforce equal opportunity laws so that they can find good jobs without fear of discrimination."
