Black Employees Sues Mitsubishi Electric US for Racial Harassment

Posted on September 11, 2020 by curata

Dive Brief:

  • Four Black construction workers in the escalator and elevator division of Mitsubishi Electric US are suing the company in California Superior Court for allegedly allowing their supervisors to harass them with racial slurs and images and discriminate against them when it came to opportunities for training, higher pay, overtime and advancement in their careers.
  • The four men claim that in addition to the race-based harassment and discrimination they endured on jobsites in the San Francisco Bay Area, complaints made to Mitsubishi’s human resources department beginning in 2016 went largely unaddressed for years. When a few of the employees committing the acts were finally disciplined, the plaintiffs allege, the company did nothing about ongoing similar behavior, and inaction on the part of Mitsubishi fed a hostile work environment, they said.
