A Chicago transportation company will pay $11 million to end a racial harassment and discrimination lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”), the agency has reported.
The EEOC filed the suit against Yellow Transportation, Inc. and YRC, Inc. in December 2009. YRC Freight is a leading transporter of industrial, commercial, and retail goods. The company merged with Yellow Transportation in 2008 under the YRC Freight name.
