Food Giant Slapped With $200 Million Racial Lawsuit
December 19th, 2008
Food giant gets slapped with a $200 million racial lawsuit. Kenneth Thompson, a New York attorney and former federal prosecutor, has filed a $200 million racial discrimination lawsuit against Compass Group PLC, a London-based food company that is regarded as the largest in the world of its kind. The class-action suit was filed on behalf of 11 current and former employees working at The Comcast Center in Philadelphia, as well as others who are part of the 100,000 workers Compass employs in the United States. The suit claims that the plaintiffs were victims of multiple acts of racial discrimination by co-workers and company management. It charges that Black workers were the target of racial slurs, were denied promotions and were forced to work only in the kitchen area, while White workers were brought in to work private events. “This lawsuit has been filed to make sure no other Black employees at Compass or anywhere else are ever called the “N”-word, gorilla, referred to as chimps or denied equal treatment when they are just trying to do their jobs,” Thompson said. “The Compass Group has clear and strong policies that embrace diversity, inclusion and respect in the workplace and prohibit any sort of behavior that is contrary to these values,” the defendant said in a statement issued from its Charlotte, N.C. headquarters, The Philadelphia Daily News reports. “These are hard-working Black people who want to be left alone to do their jobs,” Thompson said. “They are Americans who go out and work hard and just want to be treated right.”
you are so dumb! so clueless! let me let you in on something that your momma didn’t tell you… see… back in the day, you know when ya’ll were stealing us from our country of origin, you dumb fu@k$ learned from us. were were fortunetly for you theives nice enough to show you how to survive…period. whites never use to cook their food, nor bathe for heavens sake. yall were nasty! Furthermore, you know the seasoning youput on your food to add flavor? yea.. that was us too! so your mad about some burned food… what the hell you think your kind is use too? and i say your kind with reference to all those ignorant, clueless followers who share the same twisted beliefs as you!
News flash … in this day and age this sh*t will not go unnoticed!
am surprised… it must be american culture …. compass group havent had any type of incident in the uk and i have dealt with them over the yrs.. this is about the employees and the aggressive nature of the american zietgist…
I guess I am supposed to be mad, because you all talk about my mom on here. Well at least I got a mom and dad that is still married. Can many of you black people say that……NO!!!!!! You are nothing but a bunch of ignorant ass black bastards!!
Have too understand that David is a PUNK and the only reason he comes on this site with his wanna be insults is because he don’t have the guts too say too a Black person face what he post on this site because he knows he will get his PUNK ass beat down so bad he will wish his mammy remained a virgin
I know this is a Blog styled format. But come on BET racial slurs and comments are being left on here? David I pray for you, for being small minded and ignorant. I have both of my parents in my life actively. Ever since I was born. Even though they weren’t together they offered the cohesivness of a 2 parent family home. I have a step-father and step-mother whom I regard with the highest respect and love very dearly. That is somethin you’re clearly missing. Love. If you had the love you needed those derogatory words wouldve never been in you heart or mind. I do agree that the forums are negative but the comments are never as degrading as the one you made. Again I pray for you that god blesses you with love. And that prayer goes for some of the other commenters who see everything in black and white. This has to stop and every change start with you. We cannot play the blame gam anymore. Its just shows a lack of responsibility. Take matters into your own hands and excel
All I got to say is Dav you are punk and would love for your ass to say to a black person face !!!!!!!!!

Why do he illegal immagrants on here? I need to call Immagration, so they can scan all these illegals on this chat and in this country.!!!
You people’s only like opinions if they agree with yours philosophy but if someone’s opinion disagrees you people’s will start calling names.
Firstly all I have to say is that I am black. So I can understand how this would hurt. No matter what race no one likes to be called names. To say something stupied is to let people no how smart you are . So to David and anyone else who have something silly to say, race is race and no one should have to feel bad about their race . But what can I say your opinion is your opinon.
I am a proud African American female. My parents have been married for 28 years. It is appauling to see ignorant people wasting valuable time. A change is coming and I am proud to be a part of that. No one should discriminate. It is all about the contents of someone’s character not the color of their skin. That food giant is lucky to be getting off with such a low lawsuit amount. Some people will never know how it feels to be singled out for something, he or she had no control over.
