Racist Graffiti and Slurs Remained in Workplace Bathrooms for Years!

The EEOC filed a Federal lawsuit, on Friday, against a Denver distribution center for Albertson Inc. The EEOC contends that racially-based harassment was traced as far back as 1995. The company, including its Human Resources Department, which received complaints, did nothing to stop the abuse. Racist graffiti (including minorities with nooses hung around their necks) and racial slurs were scrawled on bathroom fixtures. These drawings remained on the fixtures for months or years. Some Black and Latino employees wre threatened with violence--even from a supervisor at the company. No disciplinary action was ever taken against any of the offending staff and supervisors. The EEOC is seeking compensatory damages. Source: diversityinc.com
