August, 2012 - Chrysler has been ordered to pay an employee at its Belvidere, Illinois Assembly Plant $3.5 million as the result of a racial discrimination lawsuit. The seventh circuit court of appeals ruled in favor of the 20-year Chrysler employee as compensation for the behaviors of his Chrysler co-workers who used racial slurs, made death threats, and harassing graffitti painted on the walls of the Chrysler plant.
The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals in Illinois ruled not only was the homosexual Jewish employee the victim of discrimination, but also that the Chrysler Group was partially responsible because plant management didn't do enough to stop the harassment. This is particularly ironic since Chrysler was included on the Diversity Inc. 2012 Best Employers for Diversity list.
The $3.5 million judgment is the largest settlement awarded for am employee racial discrimination lawsuit in the state of Illinois.
