Race Discrimination In Hiring Case Against Pepsi Settled for $3.13 Million

A race discrimination in hiring case against Pepsi has been settled for $3.13 million.  The lawsuit claimed that Pepsi screened out job applicants by checking for arrest records or prior convictions of minor offenses, a practice that disproportionately eliminated black job applicants while having no legitimate job-related conviction.

A hiring step that disproportionately eliminates applicants based on race or some other criteria like age or gender, while having no real job connection is known as disparate impact discrimination.
