Muslim Woman Files Lawsuit Against Walmart Claiming Managers Verbally Abused Her
A lawsuit has been filed against Walmart and two of its managers for allegedly discriminating against an Iraqi refugee who could barely speak English. “I just wanted to get my check and leave the place,” said Seenaa Najim.
Najim had tears in her eyes as she described — through a translator — what it was like to be berated by her manager in front of customers for nearly a year at the Dearborn location.
“She always used to tell me ‘I’m going to make you quit and I’m going to fire you.’ She has other people with her and they used to laugh at me,” Najim said.
It’s also alleged that a new manager and other employees would use racial slurs toward Najim and would ridicule her for wearing a hijab.
