The EEOC has announced that YRC Inc., the largest over-the-road trucking company in the U.S., and the EEOC announced an agreement providing for an expanded recruitment program that is expected to increase the diversity of YRC’s truck driving and dock employees’ workforce. The no-fault agreement ended EEOC’s investigation into YRC’s hiring practices with respect to women, African Americans, and Hispanics into truck driving and dock worker positions. The investigation was concluded without a finding that YRC violated Title VII.
