*Last year, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed a lawsuit against Asphalt Paving Systems, Inc. (APS), alleging race-based discrimination and harassment of 12 Black employees and others.
JD Supra reported in 2023 that the EEOC claimed African American employees faced a hostile work environment at the company’s Florida location, including racial slurs and demeaning conditions, such as being denied breaks and restroom access.
According to the lawsuit, the plaintiffs were called the “N-word” and “boy”
“The allegations in this case are deeply disturbing and illustrate the unfortunate reality that, 60 years after Title VII was enacted, toxic racial discrimination still plagues many workplaces in Florida,” said EEOC Regional Attorney Robert E. Weisberg.
