Federal officials plan LA police discrimination settlement
Justice Department officials will meet Los Angeles authorities on Monday to negotiate a settlement over a long-running racial discrimination investigation. The talks aim to require police training and procedure reforms to end the discriminatory pattern identified by investigators. Separately, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission probes alleged wage discrimination at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, with nine Asian workers claiming up to $4,000 monthly less than white colleagues.
