Global healthcare service company Cardinal Health will pay $1.45m and implement sweeping injunctive relief to settle a racial harassment and retaliation discrimination lawsuit filed by the US Equal Employ­ment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

According to the federal agency, African American employees either directly employed by Cardinal Health or assigned to work for the company by California-based staffing agency AppleOne were subjected to ongoing harassment based on their race.
