Imagine fearing for your safety so much at work that you resort to praying each day that God will protect you before you enter the workplace. This is what Marcus Boyd did each day he worked as a supervisor for [HASH]GM. Boyd, his colleague Derrick Brooks, and other employees of color were subjected to a hostile workplace at the [HASH]ToledoPowertrainPlant in [HASH]Ohio that included racial slurs, harassment, and even nooses hanging in the areas where they worked.
CNN reports on the lawsuit filed against GM on behalf of eight workers who claim that management neglected to address racial harassment at the powertrain plant. The specific examples cited by the workers are deeply upsetting and jarring. In a way, it feels shocking to think that these kinds of things happened in 2018. But with the state of the country what it is, and knowing how Donald Trump has, not reinvented, but certainly emboldened more blatant racism, it isn’t entirely surprising.
