The following is taken from documents filed with the EEOC against English Construction Co Inc (“English”) in Lynchburg, Virginia by “Alex” (name changed to protect victim).
Alex has a Master’s Degree in Engineering. As a US Navy Corpsman, Petty officer E-4, he served 4 years active and 4 reserve duty. Alex was hired as a Laborer by English July 2023 with a promise that he would receive “on-the-job training” to progress to a better position. Alex is also African American and Muslim.
After working at English for over a year, Alex learned that English offered relatively low paying Laborer positions to African American men, promising them that they would receive on the job training, promotions, vacation time, raises, health insurance, 401k benefits if they stayed with the company for at least one year. The company then terminated the men before they were able to complete a full year working there. To Alex’s knowledge, the only African Americans employed by English were Laborers, and there were no non-African American Laborers.
