The EEOC Files a Civil Rights Lawsuit Against Don’s Specialty Meats

The federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has filed a civil rights lawsuit against Don’s Specialty Meats, alleging that a black man employed there was subjected to racist treatment.
The suit, filed in federal court in September, alleges that the employee was identified as “black boy” on the work schedule, called the n-word and subjected to harassment at work because he is a black person.
The EEOC alleges that they investigated the man’s complaint and tried to work something out with Don’s but wasn’t able to.
