B&H settles discrimination suit, agrees to pay $4.3 million (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21341907/)
NEW YORK - B&H Photo-Video, a world famous camera store known for the traditional Hasidic dress worn by many of its employees, has agreed to pay $4.3 million to settle a discrimination case.
The federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which enforces laws prohibiting discrimination, alleges that B&H Photo and Electronics Corp. paid Hispanics working in its warehouses less than others, and failed to promote them or provide health benefits.
In its complaint, filed in Manhattan federal court, the EEOC said the discrimination was based on the employees' nationality.

Thinking they won't be having any big sales for a while...DAMN!
