PBM Elects to Settle With EEOC Over National Origin

Specifically, the EEOC said that—from at least Jan. 1, 2003, to the present—PBM developed a “core group” of regular temporary workers. The workers in this group were told to continue to come to work for PBM unless otherwise notified, unlike other temporary workers who worked for PBM only on an “as-needed” basis. The EEOC alleged that approximately 50-75 persons were assigned to the core group, and that its membership was disproportionately Hispanic, to the exclusion of similarly qualified non-Latino temporary workers.
