B&H electronics retailer in New York City has settled a job discrimination lawsuit on behalf of 149 Latino warehouse workers for $4.3 million.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission said Wednesday a federal judge in Manhattan approved the settlement. The federal agency had accused B&H of paying the Manhattan and Brooklyn workers less than other workers, and denying them promotions and health benefits because they were Latino.
The EEOC plans to monitor B&H for five years.
The EEOC also settled two other lawsuits. One was for $300,000 with Adelphi University, which the agency had accused of paying women professors less than their male counterparts.
The other settlement was for $272,000 with Qualex Inc., an Eastman Kodak subsidiary the EEOC had accused of unfairly firing older employees.

This is an old story, more than a year old. Not sure why it is coming up again. Just use google news “B&H” and you’ll see the same settlementa while back.
