AT&T Signs Pact On Discrimination
Washington AP The largest job discrimination settlement in U.S. history totals 38 million dollars. AT&T and 24 Bell companies agree to 15 million in back pay to about 15,000 Black and Spanish surname employees and women plus 23 million in wage adjustments to promote equal advancement. The pact also aims to hire more men as operators and clerks and more women in outside craft jobs. The Labor Department calls it dramatic and historic and a possible model for future civil rights agreements. The EEOC pressed the case, while NOW criticized the back-pay portion as modest compared with other settlements.
