Appeals Court Doubts Workers 'Liked' Racial Slurs NBC5.com
CHICAGO -- A federal appeals court in Chicago has rejected a company's argument that its employees 'liked' being referred to with racial slurs.
The Seventh U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ordered a judge in Indianapolis to allow a class-action lawsuit by 350 black employees. They're suing International Truck and Engine Corporation, which is a part of Navistar that used to be International Harvester.
The appeals court contends the company's claim that employees liked the slurs and laughed at cartoons about lynchings 'strained credibility.' The opinion was handed down Friday.------------------------------------------- posted 8:37 AM :: reference link ::
