Race Discrimination Case

Employment related race discrimination violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the U. S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (”EEOC”) is a federal agency which enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination, including race discrimination.  In an October 22, 2009 EEOC Press Release at http://www.eeoc.gov/press/10-22-09.html , agency lawyers announced that an auto parts supplier agreed to resolve a race discrimination case by paying $105,000.00 and conducting annual training of its managers and supervisors on race discrimination.  According to the Press Release, EEOC lawyers contended that the company subjected an African American worker to discrimination by failing to promote him to a maintenance position because of his race.
