Walgreens, the nation’s biggest drug store chain, today settled a discrimination lawsuit by minority workers who accused the company of denying them promotions on account of their race. The lawsuit was brought by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on behalf of black employees.
As part of the settlement, Walgreens has agreed to pay $20 million to an estimated class of 10,000 employees. Walgreens will also be monitored for the next five years and have its employment processes reviewed.
