Black Workers Sue Woodgrain Inc. Over Alleged Racist Remarks, Including Being Called ‘Monkeys’
Seven Black men who were recently fired from Woodgrain Inc.’s Aurora location have filed a federal lawsuit, alleging racial discrimination and wrongful termination. The suit claims their manager compared them to “monkeys” and that they were let go after circulating a petition about workplace conditions. Woodgrain has admitted the comment was made, but denies it was racist — a response that shocked the plaintiffs and their attorney.
