Firm Settles Sex Discrimination Suit: A company has agreed to pay $3.5 million in back pay to women employees in what Labor Secretary Elizabeth Hanford Dole called one of the largest equal-employment opportunity settlements in U.S. history. Precision Castparts Corp. of Portland, Ore., will pay about 1,000 women “who were steered into traditionally female jobs when they were hired,” the Labor Department said in announcing the settlement.
