Black man says white coworkers hung noose, urinated on his chair at Boeing, suit says

At Boeing’s plant in North Charleston where employees found a noose hanging earlier this year, one employee says the company knew about “an atmosphere of racial hostility and harassment towards African Americans,” according to a federal lawsuit filed last week.

Curtis Anthony says he worked at the South Carolina plant for eight years and complained several times about racism in the unit where he had been assigned since 2017, the lawsuit says.

Anthony, who is black, says white coworkers urinated on his desk and in his seat “numerous times” and used a racial slur daily, according to the court filing. When he complained about the harassment and racism, Anthony says he was moved to a different unit that did not have air conditioning.

The racism at the plant attracted international headlines when, earlier this year, Anthony says he found a noose hanging above his desk, according to the lawsuit.

I see a huge settlement check coming to Mr. Anthony.
