PepsiCo Inc. has agreed to a $3.13 million settlement in a lawsuit that claimed the company racially discriminated against applicants. San-Diego-Auto-Accident-lawyer According to the suit, the company used background checks to weed out job applicants who had been arrested of a crime but not convicted, which resulted in a disproportionately large number of black applicants being denied. The suit argues the use of arrest records is illegal if that use “is irrelevant to the jobs being sought.”  Jonathan Stempel, Reuters  01/11/2012  San Diego personal injury attorney
