Nascar Settles Race Discrimination and Sexual Harassment Suit
The New York Times recently reported that Nascar has settled a multi-million dollar race discrimination and sexual harassment suit with a former employee. Among the egregious conduct claimed by Mauricia Grant, was that two employees exposed themselves to her and that she was called “Nappy Headed Mo” and “Queen Sheba” by other Nascar employees.
The conduct to which Ms. Grant was subjected is not uncommon. In many workplaces, employment discrimination is something that has not been eradicated. In fact, discrimination in the workplace is showing no signs of slowing down. EEOC statistics from recent years demonstrate this fact. The increase in claims filed for both employment discrimination and workplace retaliation claims confirm our long-standing belief that employment discrimination is a disease that must be eliminated from the workplace.
