Lethornia J. Whiticar Jr., an African American male formerly employed by New Orleans East Hospital (NOEH), has filed a lawsuit alleging racial discrimination and retaliation after being demoted despite exemplary performance reviews throughout his tenure at NOEH.
After claiming he was exposed to asbestos at work, and at home by his family members who worked for the same company, an Avondale Shipyward worker’s motion to remand the case was held in abeyance as the case was administratively closed on Oct. 25 until an earlier case that could affect the worker's motion is adjudicated.
