A federal contractor has agreed to resolve allegations of hiring discrimination, accepting terms that include paying $121,000 in back wages to 798 female and Black job applicants at the company's North Texas warehouse.
Federal law prohibits federal contractors from discriminating in employment based on race, sex, color, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin.
"No person should be rejected when they apply for a job because of their gender or their race," said Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs Southwest Regional Director Melissa Speer in Dallas."The U.S. Department of Labor and Sysco North Texas worked together to resolve these matters and to prevent similar discrimination issues from happening again."
Sysco North Texas is a subsidiary of Houston-based Sysco Corp. Another one of the company's subsidiaries, New Braunfels-based Sysco Central Texas, also agreed to terms resolving allegations of hiring discrimination against 180 women and 190 Black men.
