NEW ORLEANS - A New Orleans man sued the Cornerstone Chemical Company and a Cornerstone supervisor, alleging unlawful discrimination and retaliation based on race, according to documents filed on March 2 in New Orleans federal court.
Plaintiff Okula Muhammad, an African American, was a reactor operator at the Cornerstone chemical plant in Westwego starting in 2014.
Muhammad s lawsuit says he was fired by his supervisor, defendant Greg Ritter, in December 2018 despite a positive work record, based on an incident that the plaintiff said was fabricated due to racial bias. Muhammad appealed the termination through his union and his employment was reinstated almost a year later.
