Racism In The Pharmaceutical Business

America's largest pharmacy chain has been sued by the government for alleged discrimination against black workers.

Walgreen illegally sent black staff to low-performing stores and shops in black communities, the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission (EEOC) claims.

African-American employees - including pharmacists and managers - were also denied promotions, the EEOC claim adds.

There isn't much information to verify these claims, either way. One to keep an eye on.
