Albertson's will pay $8.9 million to 168 minority workers who have claimed they were victims of racist taunts and depictions. According to a press release, the settlement is between Albertson's and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission represented workers from three different lawsuits concerning the Denver case. The settlement payout will be distributed to the 168 workers, with cash payments based on number of years of employment and the severity of the racial harm.
