Convenience store chain with hundreds of outlets in 6 states hit with discrimination lawsuit



The Sheetz convenience store chain has been hit with a lawsuit by federal officials who allege the company discriminated against minority job applicants.

Sheetz Inc., which operates more than 700 stores in six states, discriminated against Black, Native American and multiracial job seekers by automatically weeding out applicants whom the company deemed to have failed a criminal background check, according to U.S. officials.

President Joe Biden stopped by a Sheetz for snacks this week while campaigning in Pennsylvania.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed suit in Baltimore against Altoona, Pennsylvania-based Sheetz and two subsidary companies, alleging the chain’s longstanding hiring practices have a disproportionate impact on minority applicants and thus run afoul of federal civil rights law.

Sheetz said Thursday that it “does not tolerate discrimination of any kind.”
Criminal background checks be raycissss?

Federal officials said they do not allege Sheetz was motivated by racial animus, but takes issue with the way the chain uses criminal background checks to screen job seekers. The company was sued under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits workplace discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion and national origin.
They might have not hired D'laequavius because of his long rap sheet and therefore avoided him killing someone on their premises, but they probably won't be avoiding the ben crump 'raycissssssss' lawsuit. Which they will probably lose because wokeness and apefirmative action niggers in the judicial system. You just can't win.
