The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed a lawsuit against RockTenn Services, Inc., an Atlanta-based manufacturer for workplace harassment and discrimination against African-American employees. The lawsuit claims that African-American workers were subject to racist remarks and graffiti in the workplace, and management refused to take steps to rectify the situation. The EEOC agreed to settle the lawsuit for $500,000, distributed to 14 employees. “Racism in any form is bad enough, but racist graffiti that included Confederate flags and death wishes accompanied by vile racist epithets go far beyond the pale even of prejudice,” said EEOC Senior Trial Attorney Joel Clark. “Terms like ‘KKK’ evoke violent and threatening attitudes towards African-Americans. RockTenn should have immediately responded to the reports of racist graffiti instead of permitting their employees to work in an atmosphere full of these menacing, racist taunts.” Doug Silverstein, Kesluk & Silverstein.
