McDonald's to pay Black store owner $33.5 million to end bias suit
CBSN
McDonald's will pay $33.5 million to a former baseball player who owns multiple franchises to end a lawsuit he brought against the company, accusing it of racial discrimination.
Herb Washington, who is Black, owned more than a dozen restaurants in Ohio and Pennsylvania when he filed a lawsuit in February that said the company has treated White owners more favorably and denied him the opportunity to buy restaurants in more affluent communities.
McDonald's said in a statement Thursday that the amount it was paying Washington was "no more than what we deem a fair price for the value of the restaurants," Cleveland.com reported.
