All this does is ensure that black women will be passed over for employment opportunities to avoid this type of outcome. Hiring people has become a risk not worth taking.

Or, lots of currently employed Blacks will start coming in late. Serms like a pretty lucrative scam.

This will not help racial relations. People will be afraid to hire someone of colour in case they can’t fire them and this will give people courage to not perform up to standard because they only have to sue for racial discrimination.

It's already like that. I worked with a woman that was openly racist towards whites, while telling all other black employees that all the white employees were racist. ALL the bosses were scared to death of her. She got away with murder. Harrassed no less than 3 white coworkers to quit. One would cry daily at work, due to the harrassment. She's still there.

Government hires the most incompetent of any color. Look at the FUBAR mess we are in because they do. We need a competency test for employees and politicians.

Turns around gets his teacher's degree with a double math major, and taught Jr Tech College for 20 years, retiring as Dept Chair. He could wire to NY BUILDING CODE when he graduated HS before that.

I’m sure there is more to the story. However, if the company were racist and discriminatory, they would not have hired her.

The award is outlandish and unrealistic for sure.

It seems that the crux of the case is that it was proven that other workers were late as often or more often than Ms Europe, and they were not disciplined. I'm certainly not justifying the award, but it serves no one to be judging the situation while simultaneously being ignorant of the details of the story. That's what we are fighting for, isn't it? Truth over obfuscation, every time.

Okay, Fine. Find for the plaintiff and give her a little bit of money, but millions! A couple hundred thousand would send a message to the gym.

How can they run a business with everyone coming in late?

Yep if what you said is true then this is very sloppy writing by JD for leaving out the facts of the case. Obfuscation of the facts to make a point is very disingenuous and disappointing.

Were all of the other workers that were late just as often white?

If that’s true, it changes the situation. BUT THE AWARD! Unbelievable.

A disgusting and insulting award. That amount is equal to a double digit number of lifetimes of honest labor and fiscal responsibility!

The times are all inverted, inside out and upside down. Sort of like the period right before the dawn of the revolution of Mao- ism. We better stop it all before there’s no going back as our Jewish friends keep telling us to do!

This is so dumb, because all it does is ensure that employers will do their utmost not to employ black people. What company in their right mind is going to employ a person who they cannot fire without financial penalty in the event that person fails to honour the contract of employment? None. Blacks are going to become even more unemployed and unemployable. I suppose then the idiotic liberal left will point at the statistics and claim 'systemic racism'.

I was fired from a job of 5 years where I was never late, and worked all OT, for being with my baby at the hospital, had a dr excused absence, I'm white. Those young things who missed a lot of work were Sleeping with their male supervisors. I refused to.

To combat this stupidity, employers need to require employees to sign a NDA waiver against lawsuit as part of the hiring process. The courts are corrupt, and every jury is bias. They will sign if they want the job.
