Bullying, threats and racial slurs detail alleged “hostile” working conditions for black employees at a now complete cement plant modernization project near Albany, N.Y., in a lawsuit filed June 2 by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission against CCC Group Inc., a San Antonio, Texas-based general contractor.
On behalf of a former CCC Group employee, the EEOC complaint filed in U.S. district court contends that a company foreman repeatedly used racial epithets and symbols against the black craft workers and subjected them to other forms of racial harassment at the estimated $300-million multiyear plant upgrade that was finished in 2017.
