In 2017, A Brooklyn, NY, contractor Laquila Group agreed to
pay $625,000 in order to settle a U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
(EEOC) discrimination lawsuit, according to the New York Daily News.
Also in 2016, a federal court in Connecticut ordered
painting contractor Safety Marking to pay two past employees more than $1.5
million each after complaining about racial discrimination. The lawsuit alleged
that the two had to endure racial and ethnic insults and slurs. The previous
employees also alleged that less-experienced white employees were promoted to
higher positions within the company instead of them.
