New York City Employment Lawyer

A Pittsburgh home improvement company, Champion Window, recently settled a lawsuit accusing the company of racial discrimination against an African American man.  The suit, filed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), claimed the company failed to provide Martell Waite with the same tools, benefits, and assistance it provided to other workers in the same position.

Waite also complained about racially offensive language used on the job and his feelings of racial discrimination before his eventual demotion and termination in 2007.  The company has agreed to pay $100,000 in order to settle the lawsuit.
