Looks like the court took a few photos of B&H electronics store. The Orthodox run business will have to shell out the big bucks for missing a few mitzvahs (good deeds).

B&H Photo and Electronics Corp. has agreed to pay $4.3 million to settle allegations that it discriminated against Hispanic workers.
In its complaint, filed in Manhattan federal court, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission said the photo and equipment outlet paid Hispanic staff working in its warehouses less than other laborers.
B&H also failed to promote Hispanic workers and did not provide them with health benefits, the EEOC said.
Under the agreement, B&H agreed to raise the wages of its Hispanic employees to correspond with those of non-Hispanics. It also agreed to distribute $4.3 million to individuals who were paid less or denied promotions or benefits because they are Hispanic
