African-American employees at Coca-Cola employees at plants in Queens borough of New York City and Westchester County have filed suit in Brooklyn federal court claiming they work in a "cesspool of discrimination." The employees claim that they were subjected to a continuing stream of racial epithets, that they got worse and unfavorable assignments, that the racists went unpunished and uncorrected, and that they were subjected to retaliation when they reported the racial discrimination.

This appears to be a classic and terrible case of race discrimination, one where African-American employees are treated like dirt and almost always come out on the short end of things. Then when they come forward to try and solve the issues with the company are retaliated against.
