The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has filed a lawsuit accusing a Texas crane company of subjecting four Black employees to racial discrimination and harassment, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported.
EEOC said TNT Crane & Rigging openly displayed nooses and white supremacy symbols, and subjected the employees to verbal abuse and racial slurs.
"The EEOC also charged the company, which has over 40 branches in the United States and Canada, with retaliating against a white employee for raising allegations of race-based discrimination at its Fort Worth branch," the Star-Telegram's report stated. "The employee reported the racial discrimination and harassment, which included a noose in the workplace, to multiple levels of management and HR, according to the EEOC press release. However, the company took no effective action, the EEOC said."
It's 2023 and black folks are dealing with the same type of racist garbage that we dealt with in 1923.
