Civil Rights Case Package Clears Major Precedent

A federal appeals court approved two consent orders to wrap up the steel industry's civil rights complaints as a $31 million package. Nine companies with 245 plants in 25 states must stop race or sex discrimination and offer back pay from a $3 million fund to about 61,000 workers including Blacks, Latins, and women.

The orders, negotiated with industry, union, and government lawyers, may prompt similar actions in other large industries and unions.
