An arm of health care giant McKesson will pay $448,578 in back wages and interest as part of an agreement with the U.S. Department of Labor to resolve alleged systemic hiring discrimination at a Grapevine distribution facility.
McKesson Medical-Surgical, one of the largest medical supplies distributors in the country, is a subsidiary of Irving-based healthcare company McKesson Corp.,. The discrimination was identified as part of a routine compliance evaluation by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs , a division of the Department of Labor which ensures that employers doing business with the federal government comply with laws and regulations requiring nondiscrimination.
