US Department of Labor enters agreement with B. Braun Medical after gender-based hiring discrimination continued at its Allentown location

Summary:

The U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) has resolved allegations of discrimination against female employees and applicants at B. Braun Medical Inc.'s Allentown manufacturing facility. The company failed to comply with a 2020 agreement to address discrimination against female applicants for warehouse associate positions. As a result, B.

The company will also set aside $35,000 per year for transportation and childcare subsidies.
