BNSF Railway Co.

Kansas City, MO: (Mar-31-07) The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed charges against BNSF Railway Co., alleging that the railroad offered an incentive-laden buyout plan for certain groups of clerical workers except those already eligible for retirement. The EEOC also alleged discrimination occurred when clerical employees eligible to retire were not offered the same buyout. As part of the settlement agreement, BNSF agreed to settle with 137 current and former employees by paying $800,000, but denied any liability. [KANSAS CITY STAR: BNSF DISCRIMINATION]
