After nearly two decades fighting government allegations that it discriminated against African American job seekers, Bank of America Corp. was ordered by an administrative law judge at the Department of Labor to pay nearly $2.2 million in back wages and interest.
The money goes to 1,147 black job applicants who were rejected for entry-level teller and clerical jobs at the company’s facility in Charlotte, NC. Most applied for jobs in 1993. Administrative Law Judge Linda Chapman also ordered the bank to hire 10 class members as positions become available.
