Black Man Files Lawsuit Against Employer For Dismissing ‘Racially Charged’ Incidents, Making Him to Resign Due to Retaliatory Acts
A North Carolina man says he was threatened and forced to quit after reporting a coworker for discrimination. Kevin Ellis worked for McDermott International Inc. in Arden outside of Asheville, North Carolina reported a coworker for allegedly making racist comments, according to a May 5 civil lawsuit filed in federal court. While Ellis was ultimately terminated his attorney said that he started to be subject to subsequent instances of harassment from his other colleagues.
“As a direct and proximate result of the retaliatory treatment, hostile work environment, and unsafe working conditions that Ellis was subjected to, Ellis resigned his employment with McDermott,” Charlotte Observer reported.
Attorneys claim McDermott knew of these retaliatory actions, and failed to provide any resolution in order to create a safe and non-discriminatory workplace. The company is also accused of violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by allegedly subjecting Ellis to discrimination in a hostile work environment and “constructively discharging” him due to his race, which is also in violation of Section 1981.
