Dollar General has agreed to pay $1 million to settle a U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission lawsuit over soliciting Bessemer job applicants for their medical history and rescinding job offers based on their personal medical information.
The EEOC also alleged that Dollar General used qualification criteria that screened out qualified individuals with disabilities. The EEOC said it sued on behalf of 498 applicants who were required to divulge family medical history during the hiring process, and on behalf of another class of qualified applicants whose job offers were rescinded.Victim identified in deadly Sunday Huntsville shootingOutgoing commerce secretary recalls a Southern delicacy helping Alabama land a major economic development
