A Black electrical worker is filing a federal anti-discrimination lawsuit after he says he was fired for reporting a noose he found on a job site.
Stevie Lamont Stuckes, in a lawsuit filed on Tuesday (March 9), alleges that in his nearly three-year tenure at Pike Electric which is headquartered in Mt. Airy, North Carolina he was exposed to a workplace culture full of “racially charged jokes” and racist slurs.
James Banner, the senior vice president of administration at the company, told the
Charlotte Observer in a statement that Pike “takes these allegations very seriously and took immediate action at the time to address the incident.”
