Walgreen Co. will pay $20 million to settle a federal lawsuit alleging widespread racial bias at the nation's largest drugstore chain under the terms of a proposed deal announced last week. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed the class action alleging that Walgreen discriminated against thousands of black workers in hiring and assignment decisions. The settlement deal still needs a judge's approval, but both the EEOC and Walgreen have agreed to it.
