Convenience store chain with hundreds of outlets in 6 states hit with discrimination lawsuit
- Sheetz Inc. Operated 700 stores in six states and discriminated against Black, Native American, and multiracial job seekers by automatically rejecting those who failed criminal background checks, per U.S. Officials.
- Allegations by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in Baltimore claimed Sheetz's hiring practices disproportionately affected minority applicants, violating federal civil rights law.
- Despite federal officials not alleging racial bias, they criticized Sheetz for using criminal background checks to screen job seekers, prompting a lawsuit seeking job offers and compensation for unlawfully denied applicants.
